CardDAV Clients

Template:Languages This is a remarkably spotty result at present. Still, I guess CardDAV is not a finalised RFC yet, so we can expect that some of these things are still being worked on to some degree.

Free Software

• Evolution - Works as WebDAV contacts. Except perhaps not currently (2.30, 2.31) other than https on port 443.
  • Here is a Bug report and patch for evolution-data-server v2.30.3 to make webdav addressbook work (version in Ubuntu Maverick)
  • To set up you DAViCal contact list in Evolution (confirmed to work over port 443 in Evolution 2.32.2 in Ubuntu Natty 11.04):
    • Go to the Contacts view
    • File > New > Address Book
    • Set Type to WebDAV and type a name of your choice
    • For the Server URL, you need to enter the full URL to your contacts collection, such as https://domain.tld/caldav.php/username/contacts
    • Enter your DAViCal username and press OK
    • Expand the WebDAV section of the Contacts and click the new Address Book you just added to see a list of you DAViCal contacts.
  • Both downloading and editing contacts appears to work. I noticed, however, that new contacts made in Evolution do not sync down to Apple Address Book (but they do sync to CardDAV-Sync beta on Android).
• kcarddav - Not working
• SoGo Connector - The SOGo connector v3.102 which provides CardDAV for Thunderbird 3.1 works partly (Status)
• Thunderbird native support - work not started - see here
