[Davmail-users] Syncing contacts problem

Discussion:

Hello

I can't sync contacts to Exchange through DavMail with vdirsyncer, after
creating a new entry, without an email address, using khard. That was
possible previously, but I don't konow what broke it. I may import
contacts from a smartphone (using ActiveSync), that doues not have an
email address.

Is this a DavMail problem?

The error I get from vdirsyncer, is this:

I think that is the wrong question, at least it feels to me as wanting a culprit.
A better question would be: In which direction to look for a solution?

I have tried to answer it, but I couldn't determen which direction to go.

The first time we see the string that starts with 'sd' and ends with 'hq'.
My short notation for it will be 'sd...hq'.

What did generate sd...hq?

Why are the dates _two months_ old?

Yes, sure.

I'm not sure. Either the khard or the vdirsyncer program. I used khard
to create the entry and vdirsyncer to attempt to sync it to Exchange through DavMail.

That's because I first asked the vdirsyncer developer about the problem, and I reused
the data.

I've deleted this entry, and need to recreate/resync to get that
information.

Thanks and regards,

Hello all,

I managed to partially reproduce this issue:
<t:EmailAddresses></t:EmailAddresses>

is invalid, however Office365 just accepts it.

=> Anyway, a fix is available in subversion to avoid sending empty
collection tags with contacts missing an email address.

Regards,

Nice!

Is the change and the report of the succes
reason enough for a next release?

Well, I just wanted to merge another user provided fix (by Roel van de
Kraats) first...
I will also ask for feedback on another change, in another message (just
teasing ;-)
