DavMail help!?!

[whodevil]

I'm trying to get vdirsyncer to work with davmail. I feel like a total idiot because I can't seem to get the right url set to get my personal calendar. I have the CalDav interface to davmail running on 1443. I've set the remote storage URL to a number of different things and nothing seems to work. The closest I've got is with the url http://localhost:1443/principals/public but this results in the following traceback. I'm using python 2.7 and vdirsyncer 0.3.2

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

See http://davmail.sourceforge.net/thunderbirdcalendarsetup.html for which URLs to use. But then you might run into #144, I'd apprechiate feedback on the fix I posted there.

[whodevil]

@untitaker Thanks, I'll try that.

[whodevil]

Ok I was able to get vdirsyncer working!!!! Awesome. I'm not running into the above bug.

@untitaker Thanks! I knew I was missing something really simple.

[untitaker]

So it does work with the fix from #144? Does it even fail without it?

[whodevil]

I didn't need to use the fix in #144, it just worked.

[untitaker]

Does vdirsyncer yield any warnings during synchronization?

You might want to consider doing this test to see whether the issue exists, because it can have silent effects (basically data-loss):

Create two files, doesn't matter how named (but not overwriting existing ones) in one of your calendars: https://gist.github.com/untitaker/5748f2a504ff14f5c2bb

Then try to sync twice. If one of the files is missing, vdirsyncer crashes or yields warnings, you have the bug.

[whodevil]

Hmm, maybe I'm not running into this issue because i have it set to read only.
