How to sync Thunderbird with Hero/Android?

[Horizons]

Is there a 3rd party or any program available that syncs my contacts from Thunderbird or Outlook or any other Windows e-mail program/PIM to Android on HTC Hero?

I am quite happy to pay for this functionality.

Please don't suggest I go via GMail/Google Mail, I am adamantly NOT uploading all my personal contacts to Google just so I can have them on my mobile!

Thanks
Susan

How is that Linux based Androidd Mobile can't sync with Linux. When I contact HTC i get we only support Windows WTF is up with that. Who the @#$#@$ thought that up. Not all users are Windows users and many are Linux, what the engineers to stupid to look outside of the hell we call Windoes.

Does anybody know when HTC might support syncing with linux? Maybe Thunderbird or something similar?

Does anybody know how to export your contacts and configuration information. The upgrade for the phone says it will wipe any data that is not on the SD card?

Anyhelp?
