Re: Getting google contacts to phone

About google Exchange support. If your Exchange account has been set up on your device before the end of Google support then it should work (Google didn'tbstop a service working). But if you want to set up an exchange account on a new device, it doesn't work.

I can't find the folder .config/syncevolution. How to set up syncevolution then ��?

Ahh... Makes sense.

Following http://askubuntu.com/questions/36055.../360556#360556 what worked for me is:

Code:

syncevolution --configure --sync-property "username=email@gmail.com" --sync-property "password=secret" Google_Contacts

I'm too afraid to setup two-way sync.
syncevolution misconfiguration destroyed my Google Contacts once and I do not want an retry. ;-)
But the same askubuntu question has two-way sync setup answer, you may want to try.

Re: Getting google contacts to phone

I just moved contacts from google to outlook.com - exchange sync works OK this way :-)
