I just discovered Kolab and Synckolab, and it really suits me perfectly storing contact, calendar and tasks inside IMAP folders. However, there seems to be a few bugs that corrupt my Kolab data files. I created the Kolab IMAP folders in Thunderbird 2.0.0.16/Lightning 0.8/Synckolab 1.0.1 under Windows XP x64 SP2, and synchronized a few contacts and a few tasks. Then I went to my Mac (OS X 10.4.11) with the exact same configuration (Thunderbird 2.0.0.16/Lightning 0.8/Synckolab 1.0.1) and synchronized. This corrupted my task XML files, and SyncKolab can't parse them anymore. This is an example of the corrupted XML file contents that SyncKolab writes to the Kolab store each time I add a new task from my OS X computer: --- not-started 0

0 0 --- Just check the XML declaration and it's obvious why it can't parse the file. So each time I synchronize with the "Sync Kolab" button, it deletes all my present tasks and displays the message "unparsable" in the leftmost column. I looked through BugZilla quickly, but didn't find any open bug that looked like this one. To me it's really severe... since it deleted all my present tasks when it couldn't parse the data in my Kolab tasks folder. - Erik From christian.tardif at servinfo.ca Wed Aug 6 18:56:46 2008 From: christian.tardif at servinfo.ca (Christian Tardif) Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:56:46 -0400 Subject: [Synckolab] synckolab improvement suggestion Message-ID: <489A565E.1090102@servinfo.ca> I ran into a problem recently, running synckolab 1.0.1 on Linux and Windows. I have two Thunderbird installations, for which I want to keep them synced together with my kolab server. I first synced my Linux box to the Kolab server. Everything OK. But when I synced the Windows box to the Kolab server, I lost many calendar items. I finally been able to restore everything on the server by erasing everything on the server, and then resyncing from the Linux box. Not quite an easy task for many people. Wouldn't it be easy to have a function (well, a couple of functions) to force the update from or to the server? Some syncing products offer these features, and they're proven useful. Other than that, why the Windows-to-Kolab server erased many entries? -- Christian Tardif Servinfo christian.tardif at servinfo.ca From doug at nostar.net Wed Aug 13 13:13:32 2008 From: doug at nostar.net (Doug McLain) Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:13:32 -0400 Subject: [Synckolab] Syncing problems Message-ID: <48A3406C.3010708@nostar.net> I installed SyncKolab 1.0.1 on thunderbird 2.0.0.16 on linux.

Please don't top-post. I'm not sure why other list members don't enforce this, but I must at least mention it. In life it's ok, in maillists - evil. Honestly, I only just tested this today. My t-bird environment was dated, so I updated lightning and synckolab, then exited t-bird. I removed all synckolab prefs and db files, then defined my s.k. options. And this is the only Address book/Imap client, correct? jerry -- Some people say I have A.D.D. but they just don't understand. Oh look! A chicken!
