Comparison to groupwise-ics

[aspiers]

Any idea how this is different to https://github.com/cbosdo/groupwise-ics?

(Same question in cbosdo/groupwise-ics#2)

@aspiers both are equally broken in the end ;-)

More seriously: I think @cbosdo's code is connecting directly to imap, while this code is using a local directory that is sync'ed with, say, offlineimap. Other than that, well, I'm not sure, I never really looked at @cbosdo's script.

[aspiers]

Hmm, they appear to use SOAP.

[cbosdo]

the SOAP connection is a code piece towards uploading changes to GW since I can't do this using mails. Fetching the events is using IMAP

Ahh... so that means that maildir-to-ics will never be able to do bidirectional syncing.

Unless your post-office is SOAP-enabled.

[aspiers]

Not really, because IIRC the design of maildir-to-ics is only to work with local maildirs, not to interact with servers.

[vuntz]

@aspiers right. It's really a read-only solution.

[aspiers]

OK, so the only thing left to do here is clarify this info in the README.
