Sort of success on the CalDAV front with Apple's CalDAV server. Entries aren't offset by an hour now in 1.1.9.28.
But now it lists one of my calendars twice (shared 'Family' calendars seem to get an entry for each user), fails to get about 2/3rds of my entries and still doesn't sync after the first sync. Progress of sorts but still unusable.
Edit: The two calendars were because one was a Calendar and the other was a ToDo. Both appeared as the same name and same colour on my Jolla. On Mac/Android the ToDo adds a checkmark so you know it's not a Calendar.
Testing SabreDAV/cPanel support now.
Edit: SabreDAV/cPanel seems to be better than iCloud for event syncing. It's not syncing on to the Jolla anything older than a couple of months old (setting somewhere?) and it's completely missing some of my more complex events with attendees and longer notes. But, edits on the Jolla and server are synced after the first sync just fine.
The cPanel CalDAV implementation only allows one calendar per user at the moment which has to be called 'Calendar' - I can't add a calendar in any client. So, as long as you keep events relatively simple, that 'works'. Unfortunately, I've got multiple calendars for Home, Work, Family... and need meeting invites working so it's too simple.
I'd love to see Sailfish 2.0 get a sync user interface so you know it's syncing and any errors. Not being able to refresh the calendar inside the calendar app is a bit rubbish - you have to switch to Settings-> Accounts. A cover action to refresh would have been useful.
Calendar events for today appear in the events view below the weather. There's a 1 pixel wide bar with the calendar colour which could be wider to be more visible. Events for tomorrow would be useful too so you know what's coming up tomorrow.
