    Once that happens and you get an archive button that works like gmails does then eM client will become my one and only desktop email client.

    That would make emclient a lot better than any mail client I've seen for gmail.

    Great news! Make sure you support shared calendars!
    Ah and drop this useless Properties window you have for calendars right now, it's not only confusing but half of it does not even work at all (ie Access Control)! BTW Folders/Default folder setting for Calendars is completely meaningless (under Accounts), get rid of it.

    That would be great - but what about supporting importing contacts from Skype as well? since you guys have SKype supported that should be enabled as well...

  • We plan this to version 2.7, however we found out recently that google tasks (todo lists) are not accessible with Google API, so we can't access them. But we can fully sync Google contacts and we work on that functionality.

    EM Client's calendar feature was the tipping point in my decision to try it. If the CalDAV issues are worked out (particularly for Google's Calendar service), it's probably what will keep EM Client installed on my system. For me, strong calendaring features are higher priority than task or contact sync. An export contact/tasks to CSV feature would be satisfactory.

    Update:
    At least basic CalDAV functionality is working, even with shared secondary calendars. When testing Google calendar to EM Client sync, I kept forgetting to specify the secondary calendar when creating appointments, and thought the problem might be with EM Client.

    Great work, all! Looks like I found a new favorite PIM.

  • Hi,
    we work on contacts and currently rewriting Google calendar support for Google API (because their CalDAV implementation is terrible). Tasks integration is not possible at the moment, because Google hasn't published any API to their tasks, so currently there is no way how to achieve this. See http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues...

    V2.6.7 only does Google contact import, no synch. This is not what is says on the tin, which says "We synch with everyone."
    Import ain't synch.

    Can not sync Gmail contacts. I can import them but not sync them like Evolution does. Also, when they are imported it seems to truncate them to a certain character length. Please get this feature working. Otherwise I have had not problems with it. Outlook keeps crashing on Windows 7 x64 so I am looking for a replacement. Get the google contacts sync feature working and I will gladly pay the fee.

    i get the impression that sync'ing gmail contacts properly is not high on their agenda. it is the only real aspect which is holding this app back. perhaps they realise if they sort the syncing out, ppl would start taking the app seriously.....

    I would also very much appreciate an update on this issue of Google Calendar sync. It has been several months since we were told this functionality would be available.

    Can someone PLEASE clarify if this finally works in v 3.0?

    That's disappointing to hear, given their earlier assurances that it would be part of v 2.7 and 2.8, and now we're at 3.0 and still not there. Still, can you point me in the right direction as to the instructions for how to set up one way sync from Google? I can't find any information on that.

    TIA

  • Hello Google Calendar & Contacts synchronization is supported in eM Client 3. You simply set up your account using automatic detection and mail + calendar + contacts synchronization is set up automatically.

    Thanks for your response. Could you clarify, though, what you mean? Which account do you set up - eM Client or Google - and how do you set it up for auto detection? Is it one way sync or two way? A one time sync or ongoing?

    Thank you for your help.

    I have already followed the instructions provided and my calendars are still not synchronizing. Some of the appointments from google come to eM Client, some do not. If I add something in eM Client, it does NOT get added to my google calendar.

    Hello,
    we would appreciate if you send us CalDAV logs: go to menu Tools->Settings->Logging and check CalDAV. Then restart eM Client, try to simulate the issue and send us the logs using the same logging settings window.

    When syncing your gmail contact list, the EM client REMOVES all labels. So the 900+ contacts I had with labels on their phone numbers (like mom: 414-888-8888, julia: 414-888-8888... etc) now all just say "other". It changed EVERY entry in my gmail and I had to RESTORE my contacts to fix it and then UNINSTALL EM to keep it from doing it again. This is UNACCEPTABLE!! It should accept and leave alone the "labels" for our phone numbers!

  • All the 'special' calendar under Google Calendar is a supplement, it not a secondary/multiple calendar. Thus, cannot sync by the CalDAV protocol. This is Google part, not eM Client.

  • nick
    Maybe someone here can help me with the issue I am having. First off, I do have the sync options all enabled from this website: http://www.emclient.com/em-client-wit...

    This solved the calendar issues that I was having, but I am still having contact issues. When I load a new contact through my Google Contacts in the web browser, it syncs automatically with eM Client. Great, that's how it's supposed to work. However, when I create a new contact in eM Client, it does not sync with my Google Contacts in the web, it just sits in eM. Maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere, but I was under the impression that this was supposed to happen automatically? Hopefully one of you is able to help me fix this issue. So far though I am very pleased with eM client overall. I just hope that I can get it functioning properly.

    Thanks.

    • Yup you are using Mobile sync. It one of the many reason I won't ever get an Andorid phone - heavy integrations with Google cloud service, or WP7 - forced to use Live! and Zune service. Regarding to the "Other Contact", as far as I know - no. This is entire the way it implement by Google's part. If you are however using the Mail For Exchange protocol on Google Sync it will than go to "My Contact" and no way to change it either. And trust me, though you can do a restore, but you would not to want to mess with the 'system'.

      Google Contact is at it beta phase, it sync function regardless by whichever methods, MfE or Android integration (though a bit better) has it problems. MfE problem can date all the way back since 08. EM Client also have it problem with Google Contact, particularly with it methods on localize with Google. So if you are using mobile sync, I don't recommend to make changes from eM side. Do it on-line or through your Android. Personally I would copy all the contact to local and disable the Contact service. But if you rely on regular change, avoid on using eM to do it.
