Can you contact Funambol and ask for > their opinion and motivation for this change? I think I know the source of the problem. I think the server is doing what it's supposed to. It's the blackberry client that is dropping the ball. I have a diverse installation. I run a blackberry, linux laptop and Windows desktop. Because of the raging incompatibilities between the clients, I use the BB as the canonical data source. When I did the upgrade, I started by refreshing from BB to server to clear out birth date issues. I just verified, while the names are populated, the Display Name on the Funambol web app is blank. I can't believe I didn't catch this. I'm thinking the upgrade to 7.2.3 might have exposed this, but I can't find an OTA 7.1.x link to verify it. > > I think SyncEvolution should at least implement a fallback, because Evolution > and also the Contact GUI in Moblin have problems if the FN is missing.

That should work well, although I find it painful that you have to implement something because of someone else's bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug. _______________________________________________ Syncevolution-issues mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution-issues
