CardDav contacts sync setup

Had anyone got the CardDav contacts sync working since 1.1.0.38 (Uitukka). I've tried setting up the sync with parameter similar to those I am using in Thunderbird but the test contact I've added on the server side does not appear in the People app.

I am using mykolab as the service provider with my own domain (settings here)

I short the server address is

https://carddav.mykolab.com/addressbooks/name%40host.com/

Thunderbird adds Contacts to the end of that. The account is created succesfully but nothing syncs down to Jolla. I can't define the contacts db address and the calendar db address separately so I've been dumping the whole contacts db address to the server address field in the account creation screen on Jolla. I haven't tried the calendar (caldav) sync at all, I've just been trying to get the contacts db to sync to my phone.

Any ideas or does anyone has experince on how to get this to work?

UPDATE

Thanks to @Bimberle here are the settings that work

MyKolab

  • username / password: the same as you would use to sign in to webmail.mykolab.com
  • server address: https://carddav.mykolab.com
  • calendar path: /addressbooks/name%40host.com/Contacts

I don't know if the Contacts is strictly necessary, it refers to the contacs db on the server. From the webmail interface on mykolab you can create more then one addressbook and name them what you want, so I would think that it is. With those settings and my own domain two way sync works. I haven't been able to push a contact image up to the server yet, but will keep trying that.

With these settings leave CardDav only activated. As of yet Jolla does not support separate addresses for the calendar and contacts DBs so you have to create two separate accounts if you want both to work.

Posteo.de (courtesy of Bimberle)

  • username: (username without @posteo.de)
  • password: (password)
  • server address: https://posteo.de:8843 (this is the standard port for carddav, should be the same everywhere)
  • calendar path: /addressbooks/username/default

Then leave CardDAV activated, deactivate CalDAV. This is it! And best of all, the changes take effect instantaneously (if you sync manually) - and two-way! (This makes it worlds better than the still troubled google account on Jolla)
