Hey Guys,

I've spent a while getting this to work And though I'd share it. There are a few other Cal/Card DAV sync post with syncevolution, however they don't specifically help us n900 users out completely or are for a online service.

I currently have about 6 calendar sync perfectly and all my contacts as well.

I will need more work for contacts/todo/notes to be perfect, but they are very acceptable right now. I still love this phone and I happy to give back to this great community if I can.

So I'm no programer or super geek so hopefully this will work for you or at least start you out in a good place. This tut assume you have tried and like me just needed just a little more help. Use some of the link I've put at the bottom to help with all the details I left out.

Please let me know if I left anything critical out and I'll update this post.

Edit: Please BACK UP Your contacts and calendars before start

Okay, thing you need to change are as follow:
USERNAME = your owncloud user name/ account
PASSWORD = which ever you use to log into the account your using
OWNCLOUD.com = what ever you address is (ex. www.maemo.org/owncloud/ or your url.com/)
cal2 = what ever the name of your calendar is (ex. vacations or jobs) use the exact spelling as your n900 calendars
Cal2 = the same as above but should be the exact case (upper/lower) and spelling as your n900 calendars

And if you don't use SSL also change,
https = http
SSLVerifyServer=1 = 0 (1 means on and 0 means off/ ignore)
SSLVerifyHost=0 = 0

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#SyncEvo config for owncloud            
syncevolution --configure \
	--template webdav \
	username=USERNAME \
	password=PASSWORD \
        SSLVerifyServer=1 \
        SSLVerifyHost=0 \
	target-config@owncloud

syncevolution --configure \
        --template SyncEvolution_Client \
        sync=none \
        syncURL=local://@owncloud \
        username= \
        password= \
        owncloud
