Hello,
I installed syncevolution from maemo extra-repository and configured for
myfunambol. I'm able to sync contacts, however, it does not take in
count of non-standard vcard fields as X-MSN (I don't get them in
evolution with syncevolution on ubuntu karmic). Especially, it seems
that maemo vcard format use even more strange staff:
X-MSN;TYPE="msn-pecan";X-OSSO-VALID=yes:foo@bar.com
So my question is the following: does myfunambol support X-MSN/JABBER
flied or maemo's vcard format is not standard (and syncevolution does
not handle it)?
Funambol does not support X-MSN. This is an extension of the vcard
standard, albeit one that seems to be fairly common. SyncEvolution,
ScheduleWorld, Memotoo, etc. support it.
Regarding the TYPE and X-OSSO-VALID: this is something which isn't even
sent to the server. SyncEvolution does its own mapping between internal
vCard representation and external one, and that doesn't include such
extensions. "What is the semantic of them?" would be the first question
that has to be clarified, then we need to find a server which supports
such a semantic.
You could run SyncEvolution as server. Once we extend the data modelling
in SyncEvolution, both client and server would support these extensions.
