Re: [Evolution] Issue with read only calendars using CalDav SSL (3.10.4)

[Ben Kirman <ben kirman org>]

Thanks Pete, 

On console I get the error "camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS 
SQL database in sql:/etc/pki/nssdb: NSS error -8187". A bit of 
research led me to download a more recent version of evolution 
(3.13.4). Unfortunately it didn't make a difference. 

I also use evolution-ews for another account, I tried purging this and 
still no difference.

The full log on evolution-calendar-factory doesn't give any errors or 
warnings. It connects, authenticates, requests and downloads events 
correctly.
Evolution won't even let me attempt to set up an event on this 
calendar ("Event cannot be edited, because the selected calendar is 
read only"). Other calendars work fine, just the CalDAV one has this 
issue. I also use read-only "on the web" calendars and presumed 
evolution was getting confused somehow (they do appear correctly).

Not sure where to go from here.

Cheers!
