WARNING: inconsistens sync state

[fummelmann]

Hi, I always receive this warning when trying to sync. It seems as if it's impossible to upload contacts from Outlook to my owncloud server, but download works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks for this nice tool!

Hi fummelmann,

for the first synchronization from outlook to caldav you have to use the "Initialization Mode" because UUIDs for the outlook contacts have to be generated before they are synced to the webdav server.

If I understood it right, you are using more than one telephone book which is not the standard book. However each time when you copy your contacts from let’s say the “private” phone book to the standard phonebook you UUIDs are gone and you have to start over with the "Initialization Mode”. The UUIDs are saved in the “USER1 Filed” if you what to check this.

Hooray, a real user! Well, I'm not really sure what causes this. If I understand my own code correctly this error message is only displayed if a new UID is written to an Outlook contact and a WebDAV contacts exists with this UID. Because the new UID is chosen randomly this shouldn't happen. Can you give more details?:

• are you using the release version or the current master?
• are you using initialization mode?
• does it happen with multiple contacts or just one?
• what is the UID given in the error message?
• is there something written to the "comment" field or "user1" field for this Outlook contact?
• what do the UIDs for the WebDAV contacts look like? (you can download the address book as simple ical text file in OwnCloud)
