[SyncEvolution] Google Contacts vCard Incompatibility (cardDAV)

[Sunny Sigara]

Hi,

I was trying to sync evolution contacts with Google using syncevolution 
on saucy.


1) First I created a single contact (i.e. Tony Stark) in evolution. Now 
when I try to sync it syncs but not all the vcard fields. 
For example, it completely ignores instant messaging fields.

LOG:

@default data changes to be applied during synchronization:
*** @default/gadb ***
                       after last sync | current data
               removed since last sync <
                                       > added since last sync

Synchronization successful.


2) If I add a msn address in google-contacts & then run the sync, it 
creates a duplicate in evolution/eds. 
And even the duplicate doesn't have msn instant-messaging address.

3) If I create a new contact in google then sync, again it doesn't sync 
instant messaging-fields. 

Contact created in google (exported as vcf):
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:Bruce Banner
N:Banner;Bruce;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET;TYPE=HOME:bruce\,banner at gammalab.org
X-JABBER:bruce.banner at jabber.org
X-SKYPE:bruce_banner
TEL;TYPE=CELL:9999555555
END:VCARD

4) If I change anything on "Bruce Banner" locally, log says changes 
added but doesn't appear in Google(?).

While I don't expect to sync evolution related vcard properties (like 
X-Evolution-Callback, X-Evolution-Radio), It should able to 
sync normal vcard extensions.

Thanks.
