If I made some changes in category locally I can´t see them in server. Is this functionallity built? I don´t see the "sync" button like in TBSync Addon.

The CategoryManager does not know anything about syncing, it just manages the categories. The "category" is just a contact property like "email adress" or "name". If you change any property in a contact it is only changed locally.

If that contact belongs to a TbSync account/address book, you need to sync that account (via TbSync account manager) to get the changes to the server.

However, most servers web interface do not display categories. Furthermore: https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/wiki/Troubleshooting#outlookcom

If you are not using outlook.com, you can make sure, that categories are synced by:

  1. Add/Change a category via CategoryManager in the Thunderbird address book
  2. Sync via TbSync account manager
  3. Disable the account via TbSync account manager
  4. Re-Enable the account via TbSync account manager
  5. Check in the Thunderbird Addressbook, if the category is "still there"
