gab sync to outlook

Hi All,

I want to sync the gab to outlook. This is not woring now. I want to follow the documentation.

https://wiki.z-hub.io/display/ZP/Configuring+GAB-Sync+for+Kopano+OL+Extension

However my system user has no contact folder. Can i recreate this?

root@mail:/home/folderid# ./listfolders.php -l system
Available folders in store 'system':
--------------------------------------------------
root@mail:/home/folderid#

The GAB is made available through a MAPI AddressBook provider and a number of objects with IABContainer, IMailUser, IDistList, etc. interfaces (confer with the tests/ablookup program in the source tree). You are not going to find any IMAPIFolder objects.

The SYSTEM user’s mailbox is also generally empty… because only SYSTEM could access it in the first place, which is of no use for arbitrary users.

Hi @ckruijntjens,

while the above answer is definitely true, it also does not apply to KOE.

The folder is created when running the gab-sync script and is marked as hidden, which is also likely why it does not show up in the listfolders script. Normally the knowledge of the folder id is not relevant either as Z-Push will search for the default name of this folder.

hi but my zpush server is on another system. so if i run gabsync -a sync it tells me

root@ex02:/usr/share/z-push/tools/gab2contacts# ./gab2contacts.php -a sync
No value set for ‘CONTACT_FOLDERID’. Please check your configuration.

How can i find the folderid of the SYSTEM gab folderid?

@ckruijntjens said in gab sync to outlook:

gab2contacts.php -a sync

ah, that is not the gabsync script, that is gab2contacts. for the latter indeed a folder needs to exist beforehand. you have to create this folder e.g. trough webapp.

More documentation is at https://wiki.z-hub.io/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5734563

But if you want to sync to Outlook and KOE, then you should really use the gabsync script and not gab2contacts.

@fbartels how to run the gabsync script?

Hi @ckruijntjens,

are there more entries in the dropdown menu for address books? Were there any errors for gab-sync? Did you check Z-Push and KOE logs for errors?
