Unable to keep appointments after foldersync
-
I am using z-push v2.5 with a self-programmed backend, which gets all the necessary data from my database. I try to sync the appointments to an android device and it syncs just fine… but a few seconds / minutes later it sends another request with a FolderSync command and then all appointments (I have exactly one to keep the data transferred simple, but it also happens with >1 appointment) are gone. Even the account is no longer shown eg in google-calendar.
Here’s the pastebin with the log: https://pastebin.com/96LzMeH6
The rogue FolderSync starts at line 534, 13/02/2020 15:16:11
I tried a lot of things up and down and I see no improvement. I am suspecting that my backend somehow mangles the necessary reply, but I just don’t understand what is wrong or how the data would look if it was right.
I am also suspecting this other post is about more or less the same problem: https://forum.kopano.io/topic/2982/unable-to-sync-contacts
Thanks for reading,

Not sure why but, at lines 568-570 the SyncKey is received from the client
13/02/2020 15:16:11 [ 4161] [WBXML] [zpushy@doen] I <FolderHierarchy:SyncKey> 13/02/2020 15:16:11 [ 4161] [WBXML] [zpushy@doen] I {8e6add07-3b09-4e2b-8809-7ffd9c80955c}1 13/02/2020 15:16:11 [ 4161] [WBXML] [zpushy@doen] I </FolderHierarchy:SyncKey>
then line 583 reports that there are no Hierarchy changes … but still the SyncKey is changed and sent out. I would expect the received SyncKey to be returned to the client if nothing changed.

I’ll look into that!

nope, not better, even though I made it return the exact same key (reverse chronological order, read from bottom->up):

It is possible. Adding Fake Outbox and Sent Items folders appear for now to have solved the issue in the other thread. Do you have all the basic Email folders configured for the account? Inbox, Outbox, Sent, Deleted. Some clients require that they all exist even if they are not used.
-
Just added a bunch of folders and it works :D
I’m just checking everything around it and will post a longer reply how I solved it! (I want to nail down which folders and how exactly for the next one stubmling over this)
-
Here‘s my solution and it works stable as far as my testing went:
Problem
This is for syncing appointments (calendar) and addresses (contacts) with Android. The first time I was syncing everything looked good, appointments showed up, addresses showed up, I even could open them and read the details. Seconds to minutes later, everything vanished again. Anything I edited was lost. It also disappeared, when I hit sync again. Thunderbird and iOS never had this problem (knock on wood).Solution
In my self-written backend there‘s a function getFolderList() that returns all the folders for syncing. At first it only returned root, tasks, appointments and adresses – there was no Emailfolder, since I do not want to sync that.After adding
- email-inbox (SYNC_FOLDER_TYPE_INBOX),
- email-deleted (SYNC_FOLDER_TYPE_WASTEBASKET),
- email-outbox (SYNC_FOLDER_TYPE_OUTBOX)
- and email-sent (SYNC_FOLDER_TYPE_SENTMAIL)
it worked.
I now reduced that through some more testing to only the email-inbox and it‘s still syncing my appointments and addresses without a problem and without them disappearing again.EDIT: No, some more testing and it’s not stable with only the inbox. Just keep all the folders.My theory is that Android somehow relies on having at least the inbox folder and assumes there‘s an error if it is missing. With this idea, my logs read differently:
Step 1: foldersync with key, gets “0 changes” - Android assumes it is out of sync, since it is missing the email-folder
Step 2: foldersync without a key, gets the whole list and a new sync key
Step 3: sync without key, gets a new key for appointments
Step 4: sync with key, gets the whole data of appointments
Step 5: foldersync with the new sync key, gets “0 changes” - Android assumes it is out of sync, since it is missing the email-folder and breaks offSo the problem is not the last sync, which I assumed to be a rogue sync that had a problem, but already the first, since it was missing the emailfolder(s).
