[CS-FSLUG] CardDav and Evolution or Thunderbird

[Timothy Butler]

Hi, everyone,
I have ownCloud synchronizing nicely with my Mac OS X 10.8 system, but would like to use it as well on an Ubuntu system. Unfortunately, neither of the obvious clients -- Thunderbird or Evolution -- will work for me. Thunderbird 15 never seems to show any contacts via CardDav; I think Ogo-connector may be incompatible with Thunderbird 15, even though it kinda-sorta seems to load. Yet, Ubuntu 12.04 does not support Thunderbird's ESR that is compatible with the Ogo-connector. I've thought about building my own Thunderbird package, but was trying to see if I could get this to work with stock stuff for simplicity's sake.

Evolution will connect, and -- very slowly -- it will download off the CardDav server. But, I can't edit contacts (Evolution freezes) and it seems to redownload everything every time I start Evolution, which takes several minutes.

Any suggestions?

(Incidentally, Kontact seems to work, but I really dislike Kontact's user interface...)

Thanks!

Tim
