Summary	0001981: Can't access multiple Address books in Mac OS 10.7 and 10.8
Description	In both 10.7 and 10.8, I can't access Addressbooks other than the personal one. there has been a workaround, where you just changed a URL in the Configuration.plist to the one for the addressbook you wanted to have. That doesn't work anymore.
Tags	No tags attached.

Marcel 2012-09-27 07:28 reporter ~0004577	Are you aware of any CardDAV server where Address Book.app (now Contacts.app) can access other address books? I guess (and hate to say this), that this might be due to Apple decisions (which we have to live with), and not to a SOGo weakness (which could be changed). At least, I did not find this to work even for Darwin CalendarServer and iCloud, but would be happy if you would prove me wrong. BTW: URL changing in Mountain Lion (MacOSX 10.8.2) still works if you want to subscribe to someone else's address book which has been shared with you.

Anyway: I really don't know any solutions other than SOGo, so I can't provide any further information there. However, this is a real issue and we need to solve it somehow. There are people, that rely on multiple address books. Maybe there is a way to get around it. Has anybody asked Apple for assistance?

Marcel 2012-10-15 06:50 reporter ~0004649	"Asking" Apple for assistance is not easy; but mostly, there is no answer. As long as they do not provide any support for this, there is nothing SOGo can do. Sorry!
