Exchange calendar events not synchronizing
asked 2017-09-07 17:34:36 +0200
In the last month or so my work Exchange calendar (previously functioning OK) stopped syncing to my Jolla, maybe relating to a recent update. Events are not visible in the Calendar app, even though I can select the Exchange calenders from the Manage Calendars dialog. Email is working.
I've followed the troubleshooting guide, removed and added the account with a reboot in between but the behaviour persists. What should I try next?
This is a killer bug for me - I've come to rely on calendar reminders to get to meetings on time and to prepare myself for the day ahead.
similar issue for me. only difference I cannot send mails but receive only...
did not remove/add again so far, though...

Not only is my Exchange calendar full of duplicates now, many recurring events (such as birthdays) are now split over two days, and I have to manually sort them out. Sometimes synchronization doesn't work anymore at all, only rebooting the phone helps. Missed a lot of emails during the last days.
According to the 2.1.1 changelog there were no changes to the activesync implementation.

Initialised new software with a restore from SD and had to delete/install fresh to get Exchange working properly. Best to note your Exchange account update/sync frequency and reboot if it's outside that (unless away Wi-Fi or mobile data).
