Hi guys, I'm late to the party (sorry), but this is an issue I've been struggling with myself as of late.
Bit of background: I have a number of clients that use ms outlook to connect to their company mail/PIM @ Google Apps, and I've been looking for ways to do the bi-directional PIM RW-sync via an Open Protocol - i.e. WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV - rather than using the Google fat client & MAPI/exchange reverse-engineer effort. (I've seen the posts & know what you're talking about, but) I've actually contacted Google support on the clients' behalf & they've assured me that there are no immediate plans to deprecate server-side support for CalDAV & CardDAV Open Standards/Protocols (SyncML is deprecated). As you know, this is the de-facto standard for comms with iOS, OS/X & now WiMo. There does seem to be a bit of confusion around the issue, so I'll try & contact them again to get some clarity. Anyway, Open Standards/Protocols @ ms/outlook looks like a lost cause (they're only interested in exchange/activesync), and the closest I've come to finding WebDAV integration/support for outlook is iCal4OL (proprietary - no viable FLOSS options available atm). For ThunderBird I've had some pretty good (not perfect) success with: * CalDAV: Lightning (not the g'cal connector) by subscribing to https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/$CalID/events - just disable the notification option, as there is a long-standing bug (a few years now) that prevents notifications from being dismissed * CardDAV: Zindus looks OK I am aware that SOGo has interoperability components to address the issue, but another that could assist in this is the DAViCAL (http://www.davical.org/) server, that can provide some interoperability between various standards. I'm not sure if I caught the gist of the conversation here of if this information is of any use. Kind regards - Jaco -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
