<h1>Evolution</h1>
|
|
<p><a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/">Evolution</a> is available in most Linux distributions. The CalDAV support was supposedly written
|
|
in a frenzy of hacking one day when the draft specification was at around revision 8. As a result there
|
|
was little in the way of a repository available to test against until recently.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Select "File" then "New" then "Calendar" from the menus.</li>
|
|
<li>Choose a type of "CalDAV", enter a name, and a URL such as <code>caldav://server.domain.name/caldav.php/username/home/</code>, enter your user name for RSCDS and click "OK".<img src="clients/Evolution-dialog1.png" /> <br /> </li>
|
|
<li>You should now be prompted for a password for that username. Enter the password and your calendar should now show.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Caveats</h2>
|
|
<p>If you have problems with Evolution, you will need to quit evolution, remove the cache file which will be in ~/.evolution/cache/calendar/ and
|
|
restart. If you still have problems try doing that, but killing evolution-data-server in addition.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes Evolution writes error messages into the cache file, so if you have ongoing problems you may want to
|
|
take a look inside that.</p>
|
|
<p>There are some quirks with Evolution's handling of CalDAV too, so perhaps take a look at the following
|
|
bugs:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355659">New appointments disappear for 1 minute, and then reappear</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354855">Support Response with Relative URLs</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>There may also be bugs in Evolution's handling of SSL with CalDAV - I couldn't get it to work reliably.</p>
|
|
<p>Hopefully those will be fixed before too long...</p>
