Ubuntu – Does Thunderbird Ubuntu One contacts sync work in 11.10

contactsthunderbirdubuntu-one

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and am trying to get my contacts in Thunderbird to sync to Ubuntu One.

I thought it would just be a case of saving them in the Ubuntu One address book, which I have done, but these contacts do not appear in the Ubuntu One web portal. Neither do the contacts that I already have existing in Ubuntu One (from an old experiment with Evolution) get pulled down to the address book.

The Ubuntu One console shows that Contacts sync is enabled and I can't find anywhere else that I might be able to configure anything to do with this. Everything else in Ubuntu One seems to be working fine with this machine.

Can anyone confirm if this actually works and if so, how to go about setting it up

What I've done is that I've disabled and then reenabled the Contacts Sync on Ubuntu One Control panel and restarted Thunderbird and all the contacts were then there.
