I used the following commands to set up Syncevolution to sync my Horde addressbook under my Cpanel account. $ syncevolution --configure --template webdav syncURL=https://{hosturl}:2080/ username={emailaddress} password={password} target-config@webdav $ syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client syncURL=local://@webdav username= password= webdav calendar addressbook todo $ syncevolution --sync refresh-from-remote webdav Of course I changed {hosturl}, {emailaddress}, and {password} to what would work with my host and everything syncs properly except for the addressbook, which only syncs my Cpanel user accounts and not my Horde addressbook. I first emailed my host and they told me that this would be caused by setting up my sync client with my Cpanel account instead of my webmail account, but I was using my webmail account. I then tried using an older version of Syncevolution (1.4) and it synced all of my Horde addressbook perfectly, so something changed in 1.5 that is causing Syncevolution to sync the wrong contacts under Cpanel.
Something in the updated database scanning in 1.5 probably causes this. Can you run the following command and attach the output? SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --daemon=no --print-databases loglevel=10 backend=carddav syncURL=https://{hosturl}:2080/ username={emailaddress} password={password} I suspect that it'll find multiple suitable address books and just happens to pick the wrong one as default. You can override that with: syncevolution --configure database={URL printed by --print-databases} @webdav addressbook

So I entered the following: $ syncevolution --print-databases syncURL=https://{hosturl}:2080/ username={emailaddress} password={password} and this gave me the URL. I then entered: $ syncevolution --configure database={URL from above}/ @webdav addressbook $ syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client syncURL=local://@webdav username= password= webdav calendar addressbook todo $ syncevolution --sync refresh-from-remote webdav and my Horde addressbook synced perfectly! Thank you for your assistance! :)
Please collect a log with: SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --daemon=no --print-databases loglevel=4 backend=carddav syncURL=https://{hosturl}:2080/ username={emailaddress} password={password} >/tmp/log 2>&1 loglevel=4 has enough information, 10 isn't needed. I'd still like to have a look why the expected collection isn't chosen as default.

It's as I thought: both address books are contained underneath /rpc/addressbooks/{emailaddress}/ and there's nothing that tells SyncEvolution which one is "more important". Therefore it picks the one listed first by the server, which happens to be the one which wasn't intended. I'm not sure why that worked with 1.4, but the database scanning was changed to fix other problems, so reverting isn't an option. I'm afraid manually checking the default and overriding it as describe before indeed seems to be the only solution for this.
