I am marking this verification-done since we included the bug number in the changelog for tracking purposes but we did not commit to doing individual verification of this fix.

I can't find gnome-online-accounts 3.50.4-0ubuntu2 in the noble-proposed repositories, so I haven't been able to test this yet.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-online-accounts has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

I installed gnome-online-accounts 3.50.4-0ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 24.04, but it still doesn't seem to fix the issue.

This is what worked for me:

I open GNOME's settings, navigated to Online Accounts, clicked "Calendar, Contacts and Files | WebDAV", and entered these details:

Server Address: https://webdav.fastmail.com/
Username: Your Email address (e.g. <email address hidden>)
Password: Your DAV (CalDAV/CardDAV/WebDAV) app password

Now I can see Fastmail files in Nautilus, I can see Fastmail calendars in GNOME Calendar, and I can see Fastmail contacts in GNOME Contacts.

I had to leave the "Files", "Calendar (CalDAV)" and "Contacts (CardDAV)" fields blank for it to work correctly. Otherwise, I would get a "Try again" error, or a SIGSEGV (Address boundary error) crash.

For me, this bug is now fixed, since there now is a way to get Fastmail to work. If I have more time, I may report the other bugs upstream.
