Email, calender, contacts, task and more. I synchronize the calender with ‘google calender’. Two thing are needed, a google calender and a synchronization subscription.
Found at http://www.ehow.com/how_4488736_sync-evolution-calendar-google-calendar.html but this does not work the same in my Evolution version 2.28.3. This is what I did.
- Open the Evolution email program.
- Click the “Calendars” tab on the bottom-left side of the window.
- From the drop-down menu, select “Calendar Type: Google.”
- Enter the name you’d like to assign the new calendar. This is what Evolution will call the calendar; it does not have to be your Google Calendar login.
- Enter your Google Calendar username. Include “@gmail.com.
- Set the refresh rate. This is the number of minutes that will pass between calendar syncs.
- Select a color for your Google Calendar. This is the color that will be used in Evolution to differentiate it from your other calendars.
- Click “OK.”
- Enter your Google password in the text box.
- Click “OK.”
Next to this you have to subscribe to the google calender from the commandline as described on lifehacker.com
- Find the private google calender URL,
- Goto Google calender
- Click settings (top of page), select ‘Calender Settings’
- ClickCalenders
- Click your calender name
- Click the ICAL button for the ‘Private Address’
- On your system running Evolution (I have it on a Ubuntu system) exectute:
/usr/lib/evolution-webcal/evolution-webcal YOUR_PRIVATE_ICAL_URL - Answer the questions in the window that appears now
A new read only calender will be added to Evolution. Display both the web and the google calender. Synchronized appointments will be show twice now.
