[SOGo] Some contacts not synched with Thunderbird

2015-07-01 Thread Nigel Pegram
Hi,

SOGo is working fine, web interface perfect. Thunderbird integration
working, apart from one error.

Some contacts are not being synced to the Thunderbird address book. It
looks like the cause is contact records which have a Display Name, but
no first or last names.

I don't know how the user has created these records, but they obviously
have been able to.

So, if SOGo allows records like this to be entered, why can't it
synchronise them? If there is a good reason, then why doesn't SOGo block
entry of such records (validate the data)? If validation like this is
not able to be enforced then perhaps we need a work around in the back
end to avoid these records "disappearing", e.g. a work around which
enters something in the required fields so they sync.

Also, is there an easy way to find these records and update them? If
nothing else we could do a quick correction by copying the display name
to the first or last name field as-is. How, though? The data is in a
mySQL database. I can program an SQL query, but I'd need to know how to
find the records (in which tables they are). Is there a better way?
