Support for recurring tasks for CalDAV would be really nice

Proposed

Right now, if I add a recurring task on a CalDAV client and sync it to Mailbox, the recurring tasks get "flattened" to one time tasks. It would really help if this improved and back and forth recurring task syncing was enabled via CalDAV.

Yeah, this is really important especially for a good user experience on mobile

Any progress on this? Recurring tasks are a major part of task management and not having the possibility to have them recurring is a major setback. For yearly tasks, it's manageable, but for daily tasks, it's really awful.

I gave up because of this issue and switched to using nextcloud for tasks (and calendar and contacts). I now only use mailbox for email.

Might do that too. But it's a real bummer to pay for a service and then only have a fraction of it that properly works. It's also nothing new and not cutting-edge technology..

I support this request 100%. In other forums folks have written that "syncing" recurring tasks across platforms are disabled by Open Exchange (the service provider that mailbox.org contracts with), and that this problem may have been stated at some point by mailbox.org staff. Open Exchange's website states that its service has the ability to sync across platforms, which makes me wonder if this issue is deeper than what the forums are saying. Regardless, I imagine many (probably most) of mailbox.org's customers sync mailbox.org services with other applications. I hope mailbox.org realizes that syncing recurring tasks is a basic but critical feature for these use cases.

Yes, I also agree this is an important missing feature.

I appreciate there's probably factors outside of Mailbox.org's control but this is a very important function and without it, I can't seriously move away from the other platforms I'm trying to move away from. I want to use mailbox.org for as much as possible, and this is a serious impediment to that.
