Hi, Sævaldur,

... did you ever get this to work?

I used to have a script with Evo 1.4.4 to publish my Free/busy info when 
I sent it to a particular URL. With Evo 2.0.0, the automatic publishing 
to WebDAV appeared, but it didn't seem to work, at least not in Mandrake 
10.1 CE--it was encoded some way that caused problems. Now with Evo 
2.0.3, publishing works great.

But nothing seems to retrieve it, other than web browsers ;-)

Does anybody have current versions of Evolution retrieving free/busy 
info? If so, what does it take to turn this on?

And I know this isn't an Outlook list, but I thought this used to work 
with Outlook. But when I browse my server logs, the only requests for 
the free/busy URL published in my vCard is from me in a browser testing 
it. Nothing from Evolution or Outlook. I could've sworn this all worked 
a year ago, but now nothing. Any hints?

Thanks,
