Hallo there,
since a sync of Evolution with my Funambol server I have duplicates of
my birthday entries in Evolution.
I couldn't figure out how to delete them.
Can anybody help me out with this issue please?
Where does Evolution store the birthday calendar entries?
Thanks and kind regards
Max

The birthday calendar is calculated on-the-fly from the birthdays stored
in the address book.
Perhaps you have duplicate contacts now?
You can look at the statistics from syncing with the server to determine
when that might have happened:
syncevolution --print-sessions funambol
(I'm assuming here that you named your config as it is usually done when
using the Funambol template).

Hello Patrick,
thanks for the quick reply.
I checked my address books and found duplicates there.
It seems that the import succeeded in different address books.
How do I maintain more address books, like 'personal', 'business',
'school' etc.?
Can I maintain such different address books also on my HTC mobile phone?
As far as I have found out, this is not possible.
Kind regards
Max

So in other words, you have one sync config and ended up writing into
different local address books with it?
The choice of the default local address book is a bit fuzzy, but usually
it should pick the "Personal" address book (aka system) even if more
address books are added later.
What does "syncevolution" (without parameters) say on your system?

'business',
'school' etc.?
The SyncEvolution "backend" config property can be set to select a
specific address book, instead of using the default. That should fix the
problem of using the wrong one.
Syncing multiple address books is difficult. SyncEvolution supports it,
but most peers don't.

Android supports more than one address book. The Synthesis SyncML app
allows you to choose and create local address books. I don't remember
whether it supports more than one address book per server. If not, then
at least configuring the same server multiple times with different local
and remote address books should work.

Hello Patrick,
I'm sorry for my late reply.
No, I experimented with different configs and didn't realize that they
wrote in different address books.
It is a bummer, that this main task which really every user of mobile
devices needs, is not really implemented to use easily.
Kind regards
Max
