Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

works without problems:
TB 78.4.2 / Provider f CaldavCardDav 1.24 / TBSYNC 2.19 / Provider f Exchange 1.20 / Windows10 64bit


Syncinc multiple Accounts - Exchange and mainly Google.

Just to prevent further confusion -
- can you please explain why Google is no longer officially supported and what this can mean for the future? As there must be millions of users using thunderbird to sync google contacts + calendars.
What is actually going on and why is support being debricated? please explain. many thanks, until now however the addons work like a charm.

CategoryManager

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

works fine and is easy to use.
But it does NOT seem to SYNC across machines. Or am i doing something wrong?
Installed TBSYNC + CalDav/CardDav+ Catagory Manager on multiple machines, and using the same Google Account.
I created categories on one machine, they do not sync to the other ones.
any possibility to do that?

Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

EDIT update on Google Calendar Invitations:

System : Windows 10 64bit
TB 78.3.3 (32 bit)
TBSYNC version 2.18
Prov CalDAV / CardDav version 1.21
Provider for EAS Version 1.20

multiple GOOGLE accounts synced for addressbooks + calendar(s)

All of a sudden INVITING PEOPLE to a calendar appointment in Thunderbird now seems to work fine.
In my 1st google account i went to the calendar view, right-clicked my main calendar and checkt the assigned eMail address which i set to that of the google account.

On my 2nd google calendar with a different google account (one that i share with a friend) i was not able to set the assigned email address because i did not configure this account for email.
Still --- invitations work and they are sent SERVER SIDE (aparantly from google).

Seems that this whole imvitation thing is mainly a google ApI / server side config twiggle but i hope it will run reliably in long turn.
so just for info ... though i did not change anything, invitations now work :-)
greetings from Vienna, from Roland Schweiger :)

gContactSync

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

TB 68.12.1 and Win10 64bit
In this version the AddOn still works reliable. So currently i will not upgrade to 78. Please provide some info if you plan to update gContactSync. Yes i know people talk about other solutions like TBSYNC + CallDAV / CardDAV but there are numerous bug reports and problems. My current solution and mostlikely that of millions to sync google accounts is: for Calendar = ProviderForGoogleCalendar and for contacts your AddOn gContactSync. please be so kind and continue the work. many many thanks in advance, greetings from Vienna :) Roland Schweiger
