CardDAV
The Fastmail blog states that full personal accounts can not use the calendar features (CalDAV). Are the same restrictions going to apply to CardDAV too (when its available)?

Our current intention is that CardDAV will be available to Full/Enhanced/Premier (Personal/Family) and all business accounts. It won't available to Lite (Personal or Family) or free accounts (Member/Guest).
These details will be finalised when CardDAV enters beta. We haven't set a date for that yet, but it should be in the next month or two. |

It will have a beta period not unlike the current CalDAV beta. You'll hear about it when it happens.

qq: if carddav will be available in FM then it will have synchronisation with external carddav?
I am using carddav on my synology NAS, so... will FM address book sunchronise with my carddav server? |

What are you using for CardDav on your Synology? I was only aware of CalDav on Synology...

Sorry, I was wrong. I meant LDAP but it has nothing to do with it. Mea culpa: )

The thing about CardDAV is that unlike CalDAV, we already _have_ an addressbook.
And it's tied in to lots of stuff. It gets used by the spam scanning code to give a bonus to addresses in your addressbook. It gets used by the compose screen to autocomplete as you type. It's integrated with both classic and new interfaces. And CardDAV uses a different backend for storing the addresses - so we can't just turn them on next to each other... So the plan is to build a common API, port EVERYTHING to that common API, and then store a flag in each user saying which address book they are using. That way we can migrate one user at a time. Then we put all the support code on ALL our servers, and only expose the 'migrate' option to users on beta. The API itself is basically done, with the database backend, and the interfaces ported to use it. We're doing a pile of testing with the CalDAV version to make sure it's not going to completely break for real users, and we have a couple of things to add to the CalDAV server yet to make it efficient. So ... progress, but not yet safe to actually use due to the level that it hooks into other things. We can't just let you play with it as easily as we could with calendar. |
