These providers, known for their online email services that also include calendaring, address book, and file storage\/access, do not integrate as smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>I am a user of <em>Fastmail<\/em>, and after correctly configuring WebDAV access through GOA in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS \u2014 which was not straightforward due to Fastmail&#8217;s unique setup \u2014 the GOA interface indicated that access to the calendar, contacts, and files was possible. However, I found it to be otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite successfully adding my Fastmail account to GOA with the necessary access permissions activated, and although applications compatible with GOA are in use, no data is synced or accessible. The <em>Calendar<\/em> and <em>Contacts<\/em> apps remain unpopulated, and while <em>Nautilus<\/em> recognizes a share, connection fails.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>I wasn\u2019t alone, though.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Once made aware of shortcomings in the WebDAV features for Fastmail and Mailbox.org, <a href=\"https:\/\/gitlab.gnome.org\/GNOME\/gnome-online-accounts\/-\/merge_requests\/200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">GNOME developers set to work<\/a> to rectify these issues. Consequently, an update for GNOME Online Accounts (GOA) was released.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Ubuntu has now <a href=\"https:\/\/launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/gnome-online-accounts\/3.50.4-0ubuntu2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">packaged the gnome-online-accounts 3.50.4 update<\/a> for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and made it available in the &#8216;proposed&#8217; updates channel for detailed testing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Provided that no significant problems are detected or caused by this update, and following the translation of some text elements in the user interface, the GOA update will be distributed as a regular software update to all users.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This update also bring a number of other fixes, including buffs to improve \u2018the usability of new Microsoft 365 provider\u2019 \u2013 aka the to sign-in to if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/2024\/04\/set-up-onedrive-file-access-in-ubuntu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">access OneDrive files through the <em>Nautilus<\/em> file manager<\/a> as a virtual filesystem.<\/p>\n<p>A welcome bug fix update.
