Bug Description
If one wants to use Gnome Calendar or Gnome Contacts one has to create accounts to access the server. Gnome control centre provides prepared account templates for common public providers.
There is an IMAP template that is broken (does not allow to connect to inhouse mail servers).
Also adding Calendar or Contact connection is not possible.
In Gnome Calendar adding new calendars is impossible (there is a workaround by temporarily installing California but that is very unstable).
There needs to be a way to install DAV connectors to CALDav and CARDDav as is possible in Thunderbird.
Possible workaround (which is not stable):
Under ~/.config/evolution one can add a text file containing the configuration to the required service.
As there is no refresh function in Calendar or Contacts, this is a fragile solution though (requires constant session creation aka logout/login)
