Some questions:
Thanks!
Hi @sugit for queries regarding the syncing part, just follow the steps as suggested by @nihar1024 in this thread.
Remember we have all been using Google for a long time. To remove it completely from your system it will take time as you may have shared that ID for a number of services - banks, government offices etc.Do not immediately delete the Google account unless you are sure you have deactivated all these services and links. If you have shared your new email ID with these services, wait for them to be operational before deleting your google ID.
Thanks for all the comments.
I see now that I put my question wrong. The question is:
How do I MOVE all my Google contacts, calendars/events and tasks to /e/ ?
(So that then I am free to remove them from Google.)
First, access your Google account and select Contacts then export all of them (CSV Google format - the file will be contacts.csv) and save it to your computer; next do the same to Calendar (the file will be like youraccount@gmail.com.ical.zip).
Access your /e/ account and import the files accordingly.
Once it’s done, it is safe to remove all itens from Calendar and Contacts from your Google account since you have a backup file that you can restore in case you change your mind.
In case it’s useful to someone, you need to select the second “Google” after you press “Add account”. See screenshot:
The first “Google” will not work to sync contacts/calendar/etc.
I added my google account, it is listed under accounts, but sync is off and i can not turn it on … on the first google Account option. Thanks @xavives
On the second “Google” option, it added my account, but no other model was added to my google device list on the dashboard. There was a hint, that it should added as another device?
But I saw on the activities tab:
Sync seem to work now over some davdroid version. It looked very exactly like Davx integrated in the account process?
Thanks for the explanations! Sync works will with my OnePlus 3T phone! But … each time a ‘501’ https error; about https not used / permitted. I do work with DavDroid / SabreDav…

I get the same 501 error constantly
I wrote the app editor; this is hiw answer:
please use the original DAVx⁵, if you can. You’re using a pretty old
version of our software and one that has been adapted by “Helm” as it
seems. If you can’t change the app please contact the developer that has
taken the DAVx⁵ source code and adapted it to their needs.
Best regards,
Bernhard Stockmann
Depends on which DavX toel you use… I used the DavX5 but it bugged me it required my (exact) location each time; then I installed DavDroid, with ‘above 501’ error each time for ‘recently contacted email addresses’. The calendar and contacts sync ok…
Tried to de-activate the ‘recently contacted’ but it keeps on bugging me with 501 error as well…
if you create a separate and new thread I’ll follow up with debugging there
Hey,
Tx for contacting me: my thread:
or:
Tell me if you found it ok… or if you need more info.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
that’s not a new thread, but nevermind.
I guess the problem is your app fork and version is doing a HTTP GET to a webdav endpoint that will only accept PROPFIND or OPTIONS. Maybe nextcloud did accept the verb on the endpoint some versions ago. I think you have a client to server version mismatch, the client doing something that is now unexpected by the server
I setup 2FA after the fact and now I’m getting an authentication error. How do I get my phone to prompt for credentials?
Hi!
I want to start using the calendar app from /e/ and it seems I need some help please. I entered a test entry in my calendar in my Murena cloud with the browser on my laptop but i doesnt show up on my smartphone.
I enabled synching the calendar in the Murena account there already.
I also added the account via DAVx5 on my Lineage OS tablet, there the calendar entry showed up immediately.
Any ideas what to check further?
Next questions will be around setting the calendar up for everyone in the family, but first I have to get my own going 
Edit: It shouldnt be necessary to add DAVx5 or Etar Calendar App on the /e/ device, right?
Next confusion: I tried connected the calendar via WebDAV and the calendar entries showed up, but doubled! After disabling syncronisation with the WebDAV account the entries where gone completely again…
After installing the DAVx5 App the entries show up like they should.
Quite confusing! Thought DAXx5 is already integrated (without understanding how all this works, I am just a simple user…)
Hi guys, I’ve got a FP5. Weird is that of all my preinstalled calender app only the “personal” one is shown and syncronized on my PF5 while in the murena cloud all my calenders are shown. I already tried in Settings/Account/Sync now but nothing worked. Any tips?
The expected method is
Settings > Accounts > (top is) Murena A/C > My Account > Settings (Additional) > Tap on top ID section > CALDAV > Tap folder sync icon lower right.
wow thx. That was hidden. Now it works!!!
I’ve seen your UX issue come up before with tasks and filed an issue on this - https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/8070
I think there needs to be a background task invoking davx/accountmanager to do that sync, it breaks user expectation and is too difficult to figure out.
