This is a known issue with Google: the server decides to end the session after sending 50 contacts. Because refresh-from-server always starts from scratch, you never get all contacts. Also happens with other clients, see for example http://productforums.google.com/forum/#! topic/gmail/D6gpeuoel3w If you change to sync=one-way-from-server, then you use incremental syncing, which might work. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list SyncEvolution@syncevolution.org http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
