kaddressbook doesn't synchronize correctly with gmail, any fix?

Hello!

I already posted a bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351567

But since I haven't heard anything I thought it could be wise to ask here if anyone has the same problem and maybe fixed it.

I use gmail contacts and use the akonadi ressource to synchronize with kadressbook. This is all fully upgraded KDE on Arch.

Now the funny part is: synchronizing new contacts works well in both directions gmail > kaddressbook and kaddressbook > gmail... But any edits seem to get lost. So changing a phone number in kaddressbook will not show up in gmail contacts and vice versa. 

Also I cannot blame it on Google - the synchronization with my routers builtin addressbook client (on an AVM Fritzbox 7390) works perfectly fine both directions...

Since I cannot imagine that the developers of kaddressbook miss out such issues when testing for release, I assume there is still a problem on my part and ask here if anyone knows how to fix it...

Any ideas?

thx, p.

Works for me. Which version of kaddressbook is this?

Re: kaddressbook doesn't synchronize correctly with gmail, any fix?

This is on fully upgraded KDE (and ARCH) with plasma 5. The kaddressbook version is 15.08.3-1.

Do you get kaddressbook sync working also when changing already existing contacts?
For example: Changing a telephone number in Gmail Contacts doesn't show up in kaddressbook. The old number does not get replaced by the new one... This is also true for me after restarting the gmail ressource in akonadi-console and refreshing the Kaddressbook's gmail adressbook folder.

I do not seem to be the only one, I created a forum post and a bug report some while ago:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=126348

Thx for looking at this,

Yes, if I change a phone number in kaddressbook it is also changed in Google Contacts, and the other way around (after refreshing the address book).

So I guess I have to try to reset all googlemail resources. How can I make sure I completely reset?
Only deleting the resource and reconfigure it again hasn't done the trick?

Do I have to delete any other configuration files (maybe leftovers from the continuous updating way back to KDE4?
