FWIW I have asked the fastmail CEO if this could be added https://twitter.com/fapolloner/status/1254138648238448640

And even then it won't work because gvfs cannot follow redirects: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/177 :(

hmm.. thanks for the reply! I realized that for now, I can just add fastmail's files in Nautilus with davfs://
so that works well enough.
Thanks for the reply! AND for the message to Fastmail -- it should be an option, I think.

Yes, file integration from goa doesn't much more than that by itself anyways I think.

Thanks a lot !!!!!

This is so much better than using bloaty evolution for adding/removing contacts and calendar but using preinstalled gnome applications for viewing it.

(BTW, I rewrote it in Go because its leaner and installing it is easier (single systemd service and no venv) but whatever )

There is an upstream MR to get official support for CalDAV in gnome-online-accounts.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/merge_requests/54

Hopefully it gets reviewed and merged so workarounds aren't necessary.

I added a merge request for fastmail support a year ago with no response yet. If you look at the master https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/commits/master aside from translations there isn't happening anything since a while; I do not have any hopes and sadly have to assume that goa is abandonware.

@phs I have created a tool of my own based on this script. Basically I just added a config_file argument, to accept a config file that is used to set the CalDAV and CardDAV URLs. I have credited you for the script: https://gitlab.com/julianfairfax/gnome-dav-proxy#related-projects-and-alternatives, and my tool is licensed as MIT, as yours is: https://gitlab.com/julianfairfax/gnome-dav-proxy#license. Please let me know if any of this is a (licensing) issue for you, and I will do my best to rectify it.

Nope, go for it. And thanks for putting that together!
