Re: CardDav [was "Re: caldav account to sync google contacts"]

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, not trying to break my own rule by saying me too, but I must agree 
here that this is what I've done. Although I can't blame Sieghard for 
not wanting to do this. You shouldn't have to setup more than one 
account to have the services you want. In my case I was already setting 
up several things anyway, so I figured, why not? For example, I setup a 
calendar service for my daughter's school schedule. Since I was already 
in there, it was no big deal to setup another one for my Google 
contacts. Speaking of Google contacts, that's what I use as my main 
contact list on both the pc, Mac, and iPhone. So everything is always 
synced. I'm sure I could do the same with Outlook.com, but since I'm 
already established with Google I didn't want to take the extra time to 
switch.

I only had to set up two accounts. One handles mail, calendar and notes.
This is just using the default setup for Gmail. The second is for
contacts and uses the CardDav protocol.

Hi again,

I should have edited the subject line because a "CalDAV" account is for
syncing calendars, you need to use a "CardDAV" account to sync
contacts. I
still think it's a pain in the neck, if you use Google and want to sync
mail, contacts and calendar you have to set up 3 different accounts,
if you
use Outlook.com with Exchange Active Sync you set it up once and it
does it
all. I'm sure glad I decided to go with Hotmail/Windows Live 4 years ago
when I decided to stop using my provider's email, yes, changing email
addresses is a bit of work, but I still have my provider's email so
one can
do it over time, but once it's done it's well worth it.


Regards,
Sieghard
