The MSFT change in position on supporting CalDAV (and the linked Win8 help page) is news to me. My Windows Phone 8 is still syncing with Gmail calendar. Does anyone know what's really going on here?
- r0ll3rb0t 14y agoI wish I knew, but this seems to be getting out of hand today. What happened to Google supporting open standards?
- spiralpolitik 14y agoGoogle only supports open standards when it is convenient for them to do so. Now its no longer convenient for them to support CalDav out goes the open standard. I'm sure IMAP support in Gmail will be next on the chopping block.
- Finster 14y agoMy initial reaction to this comment was: "But Google would NEVER drop IMAP support in gmail! That would be beyond ridiculous!" I probably would've said the same thing about CalDAV last week.
- anonymfus 14y agoPOP3 is used for migration from Gmail by major competitors, I am sure that Google will drop it before IMAP.
- simcop2387 14y agoThat would bum me out because I don't like their IMAP for grabbing emails. I've had a number of messages have weird issues where the rest of another email is appended to it at the end.
