==== 6.2 Adding a Contact in Mailcow and Verifying on Android ==== # In the Mailcow SoGo web interface located at <code>https://192.168.5.3/SOGo/</code>, after logging in, find the option to add a new contact. # Create a test contact with a unique name (e.g., “Test Mailcow Sync”). # Save the new contact. # On your Android phone, open the DAVx⁵ app and hit refresh. # This will sync with Mailcow every 15 minutes, but if waiting 15 minutes. # Yeah, I know, I know, Google & iCloud have push… This is open source. We make sacrifices. # When you add a contact on your PHONE, it will show up on the mailcow server in SOGo immediately. But the other way around takes 15 minutes. # Open your Android Contacts app. # Browse to the address book we just added. Or, do what I suggested above and stop using your device contacts list to begin with! # Search for the unique name you gave the test contact. # The contact should appear in your list, confirming that syncing from Mailcow to Android is working. # Make sure this works both ways. Do not trust it until you test it. The worst thing in the world is losing a contact you thought you added. Ruby Lewis from Cirque Du Soleil could decide she wants to go out with you tomorrow—do you really want to lose her number because you messed up configuring <code>DAVx⁵</code>? I didn’t think so. It’s too easy to mess up this section not to double-check. <blockquote>''Trivia: I quit Avatar Studios in 2008, after working there for a year as an intern, then junior technician in the tech room. I made $7.50/hr. Had I stayed there another 8 years, I wouldn’t have started a business, a YouTube channel, or made more than $15/hr; the other technician who had a master’s degree & was 13 years my senior made $15. However, I would’ve gotten to say “hi” to Ruby Lewis in person. Would it have been worth it to not quit to meet my celebrity crush? Absolutely.'' </blockquote> '''Important Notes:''' * Make sure your OpenVPN connection is active if you’re not on your home network or this will not work. We intentionally set this server up to have no contact with the outside world with regards to contacts & calendar syncing, so your phone must be connected to your home network via VPN for this to work. * <code>DAVx⁵</code> typically syncs every 15 minutes, but you can force an immediate sync in the <code>DAVx⁵</code> app. * If contacts don’t appear immediately, wait a few minutes or try forcing a sync in both <code>DAVx⁵</code> and your Contacts app. * Remember to choose to save contacts in your Mailcow-linked address book to make sure they sync properly. <div class="figure"> <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:image-20241106170046456.png </gallery> </div> <div class="figure"> <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:image-20241106170349909.png </gallery> </div> <div class="figure"> <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:image-20241106170237454.png </gallery> </div> <div class="figure"> <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:image-20241106170546706.png </gallery> </div> <span id="exporting-contacts-from-your-old-address-book"></span>
