If the CalDAV-connection to the server does not work well (e. g. behind a deep inspection device or proxy with no full CalDAV protocol support) the CalDAV entries in the calendar are lost when syncing. It would be fine if there would be a recovery of the old data set from before the sync try on failure. Otherwise you are not able to recover your data when you sit in a hotel with no other connectivity and you need your calendars :-( and automatic sync.

So switch to manual sync is the only help by now.

What version of the caldav sync plugin are you using (devel-su -p pkcon get-details buteo-sync-plugin-caldav)? This should have been fixed since version 0.1.24, unless there's some other bug lurking in the plugin which also causes this issue. Are you able to provide logs of a sync where this occurs?

 systemctl --user stop msyncd
 killall msyncd
 MSYNCD_LOGGING_LEVEL=8 devel-su -p msyncd

then in a different terminal:

 devel-su journalctl -af | grep caldav

then trigger sync. The second (journalctl) terminal should have useful logs - they may need redacting to remove personal information.

Thanks, Chris.
