GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590898
[bbdb] Empathy/Telepathy connectivity for contacts
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:08:46 UTC
In Evolution 2.26.x, you can enable syncing of contacts with Pidgins address list. Now that Telepathy/Empathy is taking over for Pidgin, I think we should be able to sync contacts between Evolution and Empathy as well/instead. Getting the contacts from Telepathy shouldn't require that much work, I think, but it would be a very welcome feature.
Hmm, the telepathy lib is quite large. Any idea how to get contacts and their information? The sample code (or even better a patch for evo) might be the best option :)

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
