How to choose collection in MacOS contact app? #200

Open alanruttenberg opened 3 years ago

In contacts.app it seems to be using only one of my collections (the wrong one, as it happens) and I see no way to change it, and the instructions don't seem to say anything about this. There's the links provided on the collections page, but it isn't clear whether those are supposed to be used as server urls in the mac accounts setup.

Feels like the Contacts app cannot handle multiple address books. I had the same issue, where I had two address books and only one of them was shown. Based on the logs from etesync-dav it was the first one listed in the response, so I guess the app just looked no further. It is really strange, the same settings work fine with eM Client, it can see all my address books. I had to delete all other address books (those were just tests) to see the contacts in my main address book. But since my plan is to have multiple ones, it is not going to work. I tried to set up a CardDAV account pointing to one of the address books directly (based on the link given in the web page of the etesync-dav), but that did not work. Is there a way to set it up somehow? I do not mind having multiple accounts, one for each address book, but I do not know how to do that. Also, there is no mention of this limitation in the documentation, so I wonder if anyone else is having this issue.
