Subject: [gentoo-user] davical & thunderbird

Does anyone of you use davical with thunderbird?

Especially the carddav part with those sogo-connector/integrator addons?

I try to move around 600 adresses in there and it always somehow stalls
or shows incorrect numbers.

I read the wikipage at

http://wiki.davical.org/w/CardDAV/Clients

and also tried that mentioned setting ... no success.

Maybe some other gentoo user here already found the issue.

Thanks, Stefan

oh my ;)

Is it not working at all or is only the import problematic?
In my tests with much less data I had the impression that it works as
soon as the bulk of adresses is in there.

Thunderbird addressbook is from Netscapes time :(

Many people have complaint about it, but noone has stepped up to make a
new one.

Now the Mozilla foundation has the opinion that TB is feature complete,
and will not support its development anymore - so there goes any hope :(

Sad,
Daniel

PS: _reading_ from a LDAP directory is the only thing that works well
with TB addressbook.

So I would have to set up an LDAP dir and some WebGUI for the admins to
maintain that. *sigh*

Thanks ...

Thanks for the hint. Might be a bit of an overkill just for maintaining
addressbooks ... I will have a look, though.

True, but I also use it as time tracker, web mailer and to keep my
different devices in sync (thunderbird, evolution, android phone via
exchange)

I could add contacts one at a time with a different client and have them
show up. Modifying anything through TB was iffy. And of course the
import never worked so I would have to tell all of our customers to
reenter their contacts one at a time, or find a Mac, or get an android
phone, or import them into Roundcube first and call me...

I started to document the procedure to get it working, but it just
looked embarrassing so I scrapped the entire idea for now.
