Re: [Evolution] Office 365 contact images

[Dan MacDonald <allcoms gmail com>]

I've updated Evolution to 3.18.5 but I'm still having problems with contacts - both contact images and accessing online (Office 365) address lists.

I have made some progress in that I noticed there is an option under the 'Automatic contacts' prefs to sync contact info and images with Pidgin. By syncing that with 'Skype for Business Contacts', all of my contacts within that address book have images displayed now.

Milan - did you say you have to enable the offline address book to enable contact images? I've tried enabling and disabling the offline address book but its not made any difference for me.

I'm not sure my online Office 365 address book has ever actually worked. It must've at least partly worked at one time because my Offline GAL is fully populated but I don't think that will ever get updated because searching Contacts, GAL contacts and Organizational Contacts etc doesn't return anything.

I don't see any documentation for syncing Evolution with Office 365 or Exchange address books at https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/contacts-organizing.html.en

Thanks

Thanks for your response Milan!

In that case I shall try again when 3.18.5 gets released.

        Hi,
it does have the support for contact images. The EWS protocol has some
limitation how the images should be, both for user contacts and for the
offline Global Address List (GAL). If you do not use offline GAL, then
you do not see any images.

The user contacts show user images for me, but the GAL had an issue,
which is still present in your (current stable) 3.18.4. There is a fix
for the GAL done for the upcoming 3.18.5 version, the last in 3.18.x
series, which will be done on February 15th.
        Bye,
        Milan
