As my previous post indicated, I thought I had finally broken free of MS Outlook. I had been running an IMAP/iCal over webDAV combination on Windows for about a week without any showstoppers. I figured that between Thunderbird/Sunbird/Evolution on Linux, I would have no issues porting over to a Linux machine 100% of the time. Well, I spoke too soon.
I spent all day trying to get Evolution set up to read from my iCal share on my VPS. Two issues:
- Evolution doesn’t seem to support either iCal over SSL or authenticated URLs.
- Evolution doesn’t seem to like the format of my calendar. (Could Sunbird be to blame here? It likes the calendars on icalexchange.com)
To add to my dis-appointment, Sunbird doesn’t have a package for Debian yet and the Mozilla-Calendar project isn’t quite where I need to be. All I want is an iCal calendaring solution available on multiple platforms. Is that too much to ask?
