Greetings, Apologies for yanking my own thread here. I just want to have my another option open. I have contacted Support at KeepContacts regarding the recommended SyncEvolution configuration. They said that it should be exactly the same as Mobical (note that Mobical is part of the packaged configurations in SyncEvolution; during an interim period MobiCal became Everdroid; by 2015 it became KeepContacts). I have replicated it below (earlier email), and have tried syncing via SyncEvolution with KeepContacts. However, no KeepContacts connection is made with SyncEvolution. The view from KeepContacts is that perhaps it is due to the request using https instead of http. Again, I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed; thank you.

The problem could be temporary or there could be something wrong with the settings." Are there log files that I can review somewhere? Or alternatively, is there a CLI command that I can issue, and, in that way, capture whatever error messages (the one above, and hopefully more informative ones) are generated? Thanks for your reply, Max

If you can't specify the tasks database separately you should probably pick caltask. Tasks database: task Notes database: vnote or pnote if you get an error while synchronizing notes. Bookmark database: bmark Some phones require that you add a dot and slash before the database names, e.g., ./con. Example of such phones are NEC and Panasonic. When I put the credentials and URL into SyncEvolution, the KeepContacts page shows that "Patrick Ohly Syncevolution" is syncing. However, from the SyncEvolution GUI the connection eventually times out with an generic error message. Looking through the logfile for the SyncEvolution session, the following lines seem to be important: [2022-01-13 17:24:47.712] GLib-GIO: GSocketClient: Connection successful!
