I also have this problem in the latest version of Ubuntu, 14.04, not the end of the world, but it's still quite annoying, as others said things like Contacts and Calendar sync are very basic/standard features in todays world, Ubuntu is trying to be the "Linux distro for everyone", trying to get more "everyday" users, but that's never going to happen with bugs effecting basic features like Contacts, Mail, and Calendar.
