Hi David,

hehehe well we just started testing it a bit. Don't frighten there are
problems... ;)
So far, we could see appointments in the SOGo calendar which magically
appeared after calling sync.

Just to get started with problems:

I noticed that there seems to be a problem with syncing events back to org.
E.g., if I move a entry from within org-caldav, after sync I get a message
about sync caldav->org, they still appear at the same position in the
org-mode fie but the entry has no date at all. The old entry can be found
in org-caldav-backup.org

Furthermore, I notice, that entries have a 1 hour shift (an appointment at
9:00 in org appears as 10:00 in SOGo). I set already the timezone but the
problem remain. Since 1 hour is exactly the time difference between UTC and
the local timezone (Europe/Berlin), as well as summer/winter time settings,
I would assume the problem is related to this. I know that this kind of
stuff can be a mess.

I would like to say that I really love the debug and sync messages. For
those kind of procedures, I always frighten that something goes wrong
unnoticed and I was really happy to see a the user readable status messages.

I also noticed the files org-caldav-2094e16.el and org-caldav-backup.org.
However, they are stored in my .emacs.d folder. Would it make sens to have
an option to save them relatively to the org-file? E.g. relative to the
path set in org-caldav-files? That would help to keep infos together and
might be even a security concern (e.g., you might forget to move or delete
backup infos in .emacs.d)!?

Thanks, that's good news. I'm actually pretty surprised that it works

SOGo calendars allow to set events and tasks (not sure whether tasks are
part of the caldav specs). From what I can say they differ only in the fact
that a task has a certain deadline and can be marked done. Thus, this would
be equivalent to a TODO DEADLINE entry in org-mode

Thanks again for this great work and please tell us how to help you to get
SOGo 100% compatible, we would like to help as much as we can.

Greetings

Torsten
