@rfc2822 said in Fastmail/Thunderbird/Android Contacts Discrepancies after 'Copy Contacts' & Sync:
Hello,
Where do these contacts come from?
The 297 is from merging my Android’s phone contacts with my FastMail email contacts, after I deleted the junk ones from in Thunderbird via the CardBook Add-On.
As soon as there are 297 contacts in Fastmail, you don’t need the app anymore.
I don’t understand what you’re talking about here, as my goal is to keep all 3 contact repositories in sync:
a) Thunderbird EMail Contacts
b) Android Phone/EMail Contacts
c) FastMail WebUI EMail Contacts
If I understand correctly, DAVDroid is needed to sync bi-directionally between FastMail EMail Contacts & the Android Phone/EMail Contacts.
What happens when you
- delete your DAVdroid account(s),
- set up DAVdroid with Fastmail again,
- select the address book you want to synchronize,
- force sync?
Everything works perfectly- as far as I can tell after limited testing. I’m still at a loss as to why it didn’t work this way at first.
The following are screenshots of the steps I took at your suggestion, not including when I verified Calendar & Tasks remained okay- just regarding contacts.
