Help with Nextcloud contacts integration

[tilkov]

Describe the bug
Nextcloud contacts synchronization does not work on my installation. If I put the full URL (including domain) in Addressbook URL and type my password in the Password field, sync starts working

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Observe Contacts being empty
2. Start Sychronization from the menu - an error appears: Contacts synchronization error
3. Go to Setting -> Contacts,
4. Replace the path "/remote.php/dav/..." with the full address "https://my.domain.com/remote.php/dav/..."
5. Full my acccount password in the Password field
6. Go to Contacts, start Synchronization - works

Expected behavior
Nextcloud contacts sync should work out of the box without manual settings for every user.

Additional context

Thanks in advance!

I think what you're looking for would be the Nextcloud Plugin of SnappyMail: #569
At the moment it is only possible to read the contacts of Nextcloud but saving contacts is not possible at the time.

I am aware that saving contacts does not work, but in my case i cannot read them as well (until I fill the full URL and the account password in Remote synchronization).

Is this a limitation, by design, or a problem on my side?

Maybe it's only a thing where you're looking for the contacts: the Nextcloud integration of SnappyMail makes it possible to search for mail recipients when typing their name inside the To: field but does not show the addresses inside Nextcloud Contacts in the SnappyMail Contacts. In theory you could also deactivate the address book of SnappyMail and nevertheless could see the contacts inside the Nextcloud Contacts app
