Summary0003107: Cannot synchronize contact with Apple Calendar & Contacts Server
Description

I have a problem synchronizing between Thunderbird 31.4.0 with SOGO connector 31.0.1 and Apple's CALDAV server (Debian version 3.2). It complains

"Calendar data had unfixable problems:
[VCARD] Missing or too many required property: N"

I have added a trace of the HTTP PUT request.

It is possible to work around this by ensuring the 'First Name', 'Last Name', and 'Display Name' fields are filled in on the contact in Thunderbird, but I don't think this should be necessary.

To find out the offending contact, you need to export your addressbook as CSV and find ones with blank 'Display Name'. You can then update the contact in Thunderbird to add a Display Name and synchronization will then work.

FN is required, and SOGo sends it.

N isn't and Apple solution complains about it. It is broken and the bug should be fixed in their solution.

According to Wikipedia (maybe you have a better source) N is required for VCard 3.0

Wikipedia is not an official source of information.

RFCs are: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350

6.2.1. FN - "The property MUST be present in the vCard object."

6.2.2. N - The property SHOULD be present in the vCard object when the name of the object the vCard represents follows the X.520 model.

RFC 6530 is version 4.0

RFC 2426 is version 3.0.

RFC 2426 specifies FN and N as mandatory
