Hi Pete, Allow me to clarify a few things.
1. Evolution 2.4 does not support CalDAV or read/write calendars on WebDAV. 2. Evolution 2.6.1 supports a CalDAV backend - In other ends, you can subscribe to a remote CalDAV server (such as HULA) - read, write and manage your remote calendar using Evolution as the client. 3. Your set-up appears to be WebDAV operating on .ics files - not CalDAV. I can glean from your mail that you understand the difference. > 2.6.1 supports caldav - which as far as I can fathom out is like webdav, > but sufficiently not like it that anything works as you'd expect.

See: > > http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2006-February/msg00279.html > The above mail thread was specific to Calendar Publishing, to which Chen had answered yes. With Evolution 2.6.1, you can publish a 'snapshot' of your calendar on to a web server using WebDAV/FTP/ssh protocols. So with Evolution, you have the ability to publish your calendars using WebDAV and read others' calendars through HTTP (Web). But you cannot subscribe to a remote calendar account on WebDAV and do a read/write, which was perhaps your assumption. The CalDAV provider in Evolution addresses the need to manage remote calendars, arguably a superior approach to managing ics files over WebDAV. Hope this answers your questions. > So having waited patiently for 2.6 to come out, it was quite > disappointing to find that it didn't work. > To get read/write web based calendars on Evo, you need to use caldav - > 'On the Web' calendars are read only. > Pete > > _______________________________________________ > Evolution-list mailing list > Evolution-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
