TbSync no longer works with Nextcloud because CalDav provider has been discontinued #321

Your environment

TbSync version: 4.11 DAV-4-TbSync version: 4.8 (Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV) Thunderbird version: 128.4.2 esr

Expected behavior

TbSync used to manage all calendars, contacts and tasks in my Nextcloud account. If a new calendar or address book became available in Nextcloud, for example because someone in our organization shared a calendar with me, the calendar automatically appeared in the list of available resources for the Nextcloud account in TbSync and I could choose to sync it simply by clicking a checkbox.

Actual behavior

TbSync can no longer connect to Nextcloud at all. If a new resource becomes available in Nextcloud as described above, the process of connecting to Nextcloud and syncing the resource is much less convenient. One must go through the manual process of creating a new calendar, entering the DAV address again and entering the user name and password again (because Thunderbird has a bug and fails to save your password in the password manager even if you activate this option).

More information

It seems that TbSync was significantly more powerful and user-friendly at managing CalDAV / CardDAV resources on Nextcloud than Thunderbird's native functionality. I find it very unfortunate that TbSync no longer works without the DAV provider, which has now been discontinued.
