ActiveSync support for calendar #14

Alex, could you think about change your calendar gui from DAV to ActiveSync?

I don't think that MS will change the policy to enable DAV except for Google. I think the gui would be still needed as the normal calendar could not be extended to some features in future (also lacks in support to OC-messages) - so your work is welcome but the phone simply needs support to sync contacts and there is no work around.

In my company many questions raised about adding ActiveSync support to OC, and I think i will contribute to issue https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/3410.

Ok, yes. You're right. I've posted a response to the owncloud/core#3410 and i will remove the calendar from code.

It's your decision but I would prefer to going on because OC still primary connector is DAV and the app itself could support other cloud storages without AS enhancement. And I personally missing features in phones built-in calendar. And even there is a lack of implemantation possibilities of calendar & contacts, it would be nice to see such contacts on my phone and make these at least call and writeable (SMS).

As ActiveSync is not always a option (domain/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync - path rule) we have to do our best in integration possible.

(Thinking) We can read data from the built-in calendar and could display such events too. We cannot edit since it's read only but with the right account settings we can connect to any server and push our changes.
