Description

Hello, I think that adding a feature to allow synchronization of mails with Thunderbird and calendar with Sunbird would be a wonderful improvement to OpenSync?, as these software are becoming very popular. Thanks a lot. Regards, Nikos

Hi,

there's already a plugin for Sunbird (which should also work with Lightning): http://www.opensync.org/browser/plugins/sunbird

Using the latests release there isn't a plugin available for thunderbird to sync your contacts and calendar (lighting plugin).

Have a look at http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/ this should allow synchronisation with Thunderbird.

Synchronization of Sunbird Calendar and Thunderbird Contacts is a great thing. But what I believe this issue is about is synchronization of Thunderbird+Lightning Calendar+Contacts. I wounder why didn't bluezync.kaarposoft.dk start extending sunbird plugin to include Contacts but started a separate Contacts-only plugin?

Hi,

having an OpenSync? plugin for Thunderbird contacts (and Lightning calendar) would be a great thing :-).

Is anybody working on that? How is there progress?

I can offer some help on that (quite new on OpenSync? development but not on development in general... and willing to help if there is already an alpha version or something like that).

  • cc changed from felixmoeller to felixmoeller, henrik.

oxe1976 have a look at http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/ this allready works. Or should work. I did not test it recently but it worked earlier quiet well.

Henrik what is the status? Have you adapted to all API changes?

Hi,

blueZync is alive and kicking!

Latest version out of SVN has been adapted to newest version of OpenSync? out of SVN. ... but there are a number of open issues still to be solved.

(I have just updated http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/building.html with new building instructions)

Any help with the development would be much appreciated!

Hi,

great. I currently try the mozilla-sync plugin. I was able to build and run libopensync-0.37, libopensync-plugin-file-0.37 and msynctool-0.37. I also build the mozilla-sync plugin (SVN from today) and I was able to run it (so, no unresolved dependencies, library issues etc.)

I wanted to sync my address book with a file, I did the following: 

msynctool --addgroup file2file
msynctool --addmember file2file file-sync
msynctool --addmember file2file mozilla-sync
msynctool --configure file2file 1
msynctool --configure file2file 2

Configuring is fine, I guess. But the sync aborts with error:

Maybe I look to the code later, but maybe some of you already have a hint for me.

Sorry, when this is the wrong place to post it...

Thanks
