=46un fact: I installed Merkuro and found that it shows a third set of cale=
ndar=20
data. E.g. the appointment agreed upon via mail and postponed on Tuesday fo=
r=20
today does not appear at all. Seems like the akonadi backend did not delive=
r=20
neither one of the two to merkuro-calendar at all. So I have three differen=
t=20
sets of data:=20

a) The Master on the caldav server that is correct and works fine with=20
thunderbird and davX (Android)
b) the set in Kontact-korganizer via akonadi
c) the set in MerKuro via akonadi

I think I am getting there, slowly. What I also noticed: After a clean logi=
n=20
(remove the calendar from korganizer, restart kontact, add it again) the da=
ta=20
is correct, but as time goes by it is getting out of sync.=20

In will fiddle around with what happens when I export and import calendar d=
ata=20
via files.=20

Thanks for letting me spam you here :-)=20

And once you've seen it, keeping quiet,
saying nothing, becomes as political an act
as speaking out. (Arundhati Roy)
