Yes. When it was working for me (I think Evo 2.6.2 and OSAF 0.4) it was a two way thing - Evo could update the remote calendar and changes to the remote calendar were reflected in Evo at the next update. > >> >> >>My way of doing what you seem to want to do is the following - I have my >>'personal' calendar on my main machine at work, the information on >>that calendar is periodically published (using webdav) to a web server >>and all my other boxes use that as an 'On the Web' calendar.

Well the information isn't that detailed - it's more a mechanism for my Wife to remind me what I'm doing! It would also be much easier if my wife and her work were enlightened and used Linux base things - unfortunately that's not going to happen any time soon. > > > As I'm playing with it now, it's not clear what makes Evolution > reload the information.

Freaky. > It happens with CalDav as well - you put in an appointment, at the next update, that appointment will disappear - then at some point in the future, 2 or 3 mins later, it will reappear. It's as Evo adds the entry to the server, then reloads the old calendar. I'm sure there's a bug on it.
