CardDAV not syncing to server locally created contacts

Syncing contacts to a CardDAV account (cPanel) works everything fine in both ways, except that it doesn't sync contacts created local in Thunderbird to the CardDAV server. No error message, nothing. It just doesn't upload/sync created contacts to the server. All the rest works fine.

Any help?

Chosen solution

It seems the problem is that Thunderbird 102 CardDAV uses vCard 4.0 and the email/contacts provider CardDAV uses 3.0 vCards. That conflict is causing the error. With TB 91 (vCard 3.0) that problem doesn't happen. The solution is to wait for the email/contacts provider yo upgrade to 4.0 vCards or downgrade Thunderbird to 91 version.

Hello there.

One option is to see if there is something wrong with your settings. Go to settings) accounts) Exchange) tap your email address, Note : If added as an Imap account , it must be added as a Exchange account. Make sure calendar sync is turned on and enabled. Wait a moment and check if this has made any changes to your calendar synced so that you can sync again.

You cannot sync the adresbook.


are these problems still present? Let me know after trying to solve these .
