Hmm. I've looked into the code and it seems that the reload call is missing from anywhere but the configuration change handling. Curiously, the ICAL resource, which shares the same base code, does reload on folder refresh. Even more curiously, the vCard resource, which also shares the same base code, is also missing the reload for refresh call. No idea how that differences emerged, my guesses are * someone working on the ICAL resource changes base code and only changes the ICAL resource, e.g. because they wanted to test it first and then forgot about changing the others * the re-downloading causes problems, was temporarily removed until a better solution was found and got only reactivated in the ICAL resource, possibly for similar as above. Either way, that should probably be filed as a bug report (there could already be one). Cheers, Kevin
