Hi! As most Linux distros began to roll out Thunderbird 78 recently and given the fact that sogo-connector for this version was (and perhaps is) a little bit problematic to use (to say it politely) I started to experiment with the TbSync and CalDAV & CardDAV Provider Thunderbird add-ons.
See https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync and https://github.com/jobisoft/DAV-4-TbSync/ So far the results are encouraging: the add-ons seem to work fine with SOGo for both calendar and contacts. Given the SOGo DAV base-URL, the add-ons find the user's calendar and address-book subscriptions automatically. Synchronisation seems to work fine in both directions. With TbSync users have to configure the SOGo account themselves. Users have to provide the correct SOGo CalDAV and CardDAV URLs as well as username and password in the TbSync admin GUI. After that, TbSync automatically detects all calendars and address books the user has subscribed to in SOGo. It even detects the colors assigned to each calendar. For a smaller organization with only a few users this is IMHO way easier for the admin as it is with the sogo-connector concept, where the admin has to provide a customized sogo-connector XPI file (we had that dicussion on this list a few weeks ago...) I did limited testing with a few calendars and address-books, though and can't say anything about large-scale installations. Therefore I'd like to ask if anyone can share good or bad experiences with these Thunderbird add-ons: Did you try these add-ons as alternative to sogo-connector? For how many users / calendars / address books? Are you happy with it? Did you find any problems?
