Package: evolution Version: 2.22.3.1-1 Severity: important In July Google announced CalDAV support for the Google Calendar. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99355
Here are the instructions for how to setup CalDav calendar using IceOwl (Sunbird) http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#sunbird Evolution has support for the CalDav too, so it SHOULD be possible to use Google Calendar using Evolution too, but it does not worjk. Steps to reproduce this problem: 1) create Google calendar account 2) Create new CalDav calendar in the Evolution, here is an example, note that Username for the Google calendar is full email-address: Type: CalDav Name: Google URL: caldav://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events Use SSL Username: [email protected] 3) Close calendar properties window 4) Try to activate calendar, a password is asked Calendar is not activated and you can't create any appointments etc to that calendar. If you try to add an appointment then you get error message because Evolution is not connected to Google Calendar. 5) Open calendars properties window again. Now you should see that Evolution has removed @gmail.com from username and URL is total mess. Here is an example: URL: caldav://[email protected]@gmai...@gmail.@gm...@gmailc@gm...@gmai@g...@gm@g@@[email protected]/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events Username: foobar As I said Username for the Google calendar is full email-address with character @, The problem seems to be that Evolution does not allow @ in the Username which makes it impossible to use Google calendar using CalDav. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.2.1-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii evolution-common 2.22.3.1-1 architecture independent files for ii evolution-data-server 2.22.3-1.1 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.22.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gtkhtml3.14 3.18.3-1 HTML rendering/editing library -
