Great, thanks for making that available, I've tried 17 and I've filed a couple of bug reports about upgrade experience but otherwise it works for me although I haven't yet tried all features I normally use. > The differences between stable-security and sid are quite marginal.

I found the solution to my problem using the connector I can confirm that both the TB10 and TB17 connectors from upstream work with the respective icedove versions in wheezy against a DAViCal server on wheezy. The reason it didn't work for me in the beginning is because the default config in DAViCal is for a calendar-only resource. Somehow, Evolution was able to use the calendar-only resource to store vCards: that seems like a bug in both DAViCal and Evolution, they shouldn't allow that. However, that left me thinking there was something wrong with the SOGo Connector because it couldn't see the contacts the Evolution could create and retrieve. When I started looking around in the DAViCal settings, I realised I had to create another resource for my address book and DAViCal creates a different URL for that. I put that new address book URL in the SOGo Connector and it is working. It would be useful if the connector could give users a helpful error if they misconfigure it like that, I had no useful error to help me and I was just guessing what was wrong. One minor problem left, Icedove address book only allows up to 2 email addresses per contact but Evolution and Android allow more than 2. It is not clear to me whether changing those contacts in Icedove's address book will result in the loss of the extra email addresses when they sync. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
