In the compatibility section on syncevolution's website, you wrote :
Of the servers listed here, SyncEvolution is regularly tested with
ScheduleWorld, Funambol, Google and Synthesis server, so, the
information about known problems with them is also more detailed. Not
listing problems with other servers does not mean they do not exist...
If you have tested with a server not listed here or would like to add
further information, then your updates to this page, sent to email
<mailto:patrick.ohly@gmx.de>, are highly appreciated.
so I would like to talk
about the Memotoo <
https://www.memotoo.com/> server.
I didn't see any problems concerning the todos, memos, or addressbook
(just a few modifications during sync for the contacts phone numbers
(none->home/work)).
A few days ago, I tried to synchronize my calendar that way, under
Debian Lenny :
syncml native client syncevolution (0.9.2+1.0beta2a-2)
N79 <-----------------> Memotoo <-------------------> Evolution (2.22.3.1-1)
two-way two-way
It seems that there is a problem about detached recurrences. I read your
article on this subject, and to be fair, I'm not an expert, but I run
some tests on my workstation and here is what I found :
- a detached recurrence on the N79 is well synchronized with Memotoo.
There is no duplicate.
- a detached recurrence on the Memotoo is well synchronized with the
N79. There is no duplicate.
- a detached recurrence on Memotoo is duplicated on Evolution but not on
Memotoo, even after resync.
- a detached recurrence on Evolution is duplicated on Memotoo but not on
Evolution, even after resync.
I think it's a conflict problem but I don't know how to resolve it. From
what I've heard, it seems that the events modifications are not time
stamped, so syncevolution has no means to discover which one is to save
and which one should be deleted, so it creates duplicates not to loose
data. But I don't know. Actually, I almost never modify the same event
with the two clients before synchronizing. Maybe the events aren't the
same anyway, maybe it's because of syncevolution, or maybe evolution
(too old version ?).
It's a bit disturbing because I have a lot of professional meetings and
after each one I wrote systematically a description about it. I also
modify or cancel some regularly, which means I end with a lot of duplicates.
So I would be pleased if you help me (and maybe others) to solve this
problem. But I know you're a busy guy.
Thanks.
