Announcement: Runbox 7 Calendar (Beta)

By the way, the DAV server has the reminders correctly synced from a mobile app (although only one even if several were set). So this is already helpful.

Still standing at starting point and no way to go ahead.
I’m not able to upload Contacts and Calendar. In iOS the setup of CAL and CARD dav was confirmed as successful but nothing uploaded to Runbox web. In the past I opened also a ticket on this, but probably was classified as forget it.

The Calendar has a refresh button but without effect, eventually after few pushes disappears completely. Contacts similar behavior except disappearing, there are no items to disappear…

Hello Valdo,

We’re aware that some people are still having problems with this.

I’ll send you a private message to ask you if you know what the ticket reference number was so that I can follow up on this for you.

We need to dedicate some time to troubleshooting both CardDAV and CalDAV to get this resolved but we’ve been quite busy with a number of the email features recently.

Sorry about the delay in getting this sorted out for you.

Just curious, is a search feature planned for the calendar?

It should be possible to have a search feature. We’re currently making improvements to how events are loaded and rendered in the calendar and then that could be something we look at.

Also, guys, don’t forget the possibility of sending an invitation via the calendar.
I believe that is not possible yet, right?

It’s something we are looking at yes :slight_smile:

Hi again… no news on the invitation via the web interface?

One of the main goals of a calendar is to be able to schedule meetings / share events with others.

Without that, we will be forced to use a calendar client (either on my mobile phone or something like Thunderbird).

This is really a crucial feature in my opinion. Any idea how far it is in the development pipeline?

There is no further news on this feature yet, but it remains something we want to implement. There is no time scale for this feature at the moment.

I’m in the US, and I exported my google calendar events to Runbox 7. The dates are all one day earlier. Is there a way to set the time right?

Hi guys.
It’s been almost 3 years since someone has bothered to post a comment on this particular topic, and as a paying client, I am beginning to find this really upsetting.

Calendar has been in beta ever since it was released. We have seen plenty of “tweaks” in the web interface, and I have, back in 2021, asked about the invitation sending via web interface. I was told it was to be developed (without a deadline).

…and I asked specifically about web interface because inviations via Android (with DAVx5) or PC (Thunderbird) worked… until a few weeks ago

…and now, the disclosure: this feature was working, it stopped working and it will not work again until… we don’t know when (and at this moment, I am not even sure that Runbox people know either).

So, my questions to the community are:

  1. Were you guys using calendar invitations via your runbox account? Or was I the only one?
  2. Do you find it feasible that a calendar feature does not allow sending invites? I don’t go as far as pushing for calendar sharing, but sending invites is something which is basic in 2024, sorry to say.

I checked the invitation headers and the e-mail invitation was sent via runbox own specific servers; I have shared this detail with Runbox Admins, and even mentioned a possible reason for this previously working feature to be broken.

It breaks my heart that a feature that, I repeat was working for several years (even if by chance), is now non-functioning.

So, basically now a Runbox user can manage its own calendar… but cannot interact with the rest of the world (correct me if I am wrong). That is, I can receive invitations, but I cannot send.

What is the community’s view on this?

I can confirm that I am very disappointed with the slow overall progress. I stopped using the web interface at all and work only with K9 app on Android and Thunderbird on Windows. I asked for calendar sharing once before and reported several bugs and basic feature requests. I just checked the Runbox 7 Roadmap again, but no updates have been shared since a long time. I have the bad feeling that this will be a neverending story. :expressionless:
