Is Kontact too broken as some say or am I doing something weird?
I have managed to get KMail to read and write mail on my O365 account, but KOrganizer simply refuses to add the calendar from O365 in the “collecton” dropdown. This is a serious PITA as the other (working) solutions Thunderbird and Evolution are either fugly or not KDE or both.
I got KMail working with O365 through the AkonadiConsole, but I can’t find a way of making the calendar behave.
Any suggestions?
(Flames starting with “pay for it to work” are pretty counter-productive)
O365 and Kontact is an ongoing issue if you search net … I haven’t had any problems with “regular” mail/calendar solutions before.
And yes I use zypper -dup to upgrade the system. (I thought that was what you were supposed to do).
This is what happens when running from console and trying to add the O365 calendar

**Update: **selecting OAuth2, now after umpteen attempts I seem to be able to connect to the server. (In Korganizer I get the same error as above, but in Akonadeconsole the connection seems to be working and it synch to the server). It does synch holidays, but I can’t choose the O365 calendar when adding an appointment, only local. O365 isn’t an option.
Scenario: you want to use KDEPIM Kontact - with cloudbased Office365.com (it might work with LAN-based exchange, untested)
This is tested with 4.13.x and 4.14.10 KDE but might work with earlier versions.
