Hi there!
First of all, thanks for everything that DOES work :-)
Unfortunately, with me, something strange happens with the birthday synchronisation:
Some birthdays just disappear out of Thunderbird after synchronisation, and other birthdays change (in all cases, the birth year stays the same but the day and the month change, and in all cases I found so far, the new day and month are the same as the birthday of one of my other contacts, as if they shift).
I tried to uncheck the birthday box in the settings, and this seems to 'solve' the shifting part, but still a great deal of the birthdays keep disappearing out of thunderbird after sychronisation (while at first, they upload to my server (one.com), so they seem to arrive there in the first place, but the next sync, they disappear anyway...)
Would you please be so kind as to help me out?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Laura

Can you tell me which version of tzpush, Thunderbird version and platform(Windows/Linux/Mac/Other).
If you are using the latest tzpush, what protocol version are you on, 2.5 or 14.0? 
Also have you any details of the activesync or z-push version one.com uses?
I have contacted one.com support for information.
Thanks.
Mark

I am trying out thunderbirthday to see if there are any conflicts.
Can you try with thunderbirthday disabled.
Also open a new profile in thunderbird and test tzpush with no other extensions.
Make sure device id is unique.
Thanks Mark

P.S.
I did get a reply from one.com. They did not seem to understand my request.

What if the issue occurs when one of the contacts has empty BirthYear, BirthMonth or BirthDay, but another field nonempty? Then it seems that the code will permute the birthdata of different contacts, because birthy,birthm and birthd are defined over the whole loop.

Did you solve it?

Is it a solution to uncheck "Send birthday information"?

I have the same issue. It's really annoying.

Unfortunately I have also the issue, that there are missing contacts in Thunderbird, that are existing in Outlook.com.

I could be a great Add-on if it would work.

Tzpush was/is still my last hope. But I toy with the idea of switching to Outlook 2016.

If anyone has tipps and hints - this would be great.

Thanks

I also experience the problem! I'm using Thunderbird with version 1.9.9.9.7 on Linux. The exchange account is an openXchange server (Protocol 14). Actually it works pretty good, but I noticed that certain birthdays of contacts get removed over time. It seems also to happen always with the same contacts of my (checking with my family members). I have ticket the "Send birthday information". When I readd the info and sync the birthdays so not dissapear. It takes a while until this happens and i'm not sure if it was caused by another device: So far in use:

- Nokia N9
- Blackberry Playbook
- Thunderbird with tzpush
- OpenXchange Account

To the other issue reporters. Does my setup has anything in common with yours?
