Sync Thunderbird and Address Book using Plaxo
Authored by: just_jeepin on Mar 16, '06 01:26:52PM

Probably a stupid question... does Plaxo sync ical also?

What I'd love is a web based app the syncs addresses and calendar events with both macs and pcs... but here's the kicker... that can run on my own server! I hate being at the mercy of a company especially a small company that might not be around in a year or two.

No, Plaxo does not sync with iCal. Maybe in the future. Send a feature request to Plaxo. When enough people ask for that feature, they will propably add it.

Sync Thunderbird and Address Book using Plaxo

I work at Plaxo, but not on the Mac client.

Currently Plaxo Toolbar for Mac OS X does not sync the calendar information. This is because Mac OS X development is tied to eating our own API dogfood and there is no Plaxo synchronization API for calendar. When one becomes available, I imagine that iCal sync will shortly follow.

I still encourage you to request this feature/participate on our forums about this need. Your needs are an important factor in determining how we prioritize features and bug fixes in our releases.

I also want to point out, a 3rd party, e2xo has reverse engineered our online calendar engine and claims to offer iCal synchronization. If you have this need, you may want to look at them. (I say "claim" not to denigrate them, but because I have never used this product. What they've done is very impressive since I wrote our online calendar without considering that anyone would use it as a REST-based API for synchronization.)

I hope this helps

Try this:

It allows you to display your iCal calendars online, and you can even sync it, too...even if you're not running a WebDAV server. Great, free, and open source.
