Online accounts

Asked by thomas parquier

Is the online accounts feature planned for any release ?
This is a great feature. Mail client displays already notifications, but what is lacking is calendar and contacts connection.

Calendar and contacts connection with Google Accounts are a planned feature for Luna+1, but not for Luna. Dexter development is now stopped because we needed to focus on more important things, but we haven't given up on it.

I really need good contact management for my business. We use google contacts to sync contact through our phones and laptops.

I like geary mail for it's interface but contact support is minimal. Emails are cached but no more.

Elementary OS seems to break gnome-contact because it requires gnome-online-account.

Google contacts web interface doesn't launch an email in geary but use gmail...

It's my only deal breaker to use Elementary OS for the moment. The rest of the interface is so good...

Any thoughts on that one?

Thanks y'all :)
