You have done. Syncronization should work now . I managed to actually make it work only for calendar. As for addressbook I'm interested in it says "server database not found" and i have no idea if this error is related to me or something i can't figure out. Also syncevolution does not report any "local" messages to update and this is bad as it should see a lot of contacts. If someone has an idea, please contribute to the wiki. | You have done.
