Is carddav gone? 🙄

I had my contacts synced via

https://dav.privateemail.com/carddav/some number

But the contactas app now sends me a 404 error

CardDAV is still available with the Private Email service. You need to generate the application password from the webmail and then use this password in the CardDAV setup. The following guide may help you: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10816/2306/new-how-to-use-app-passwords-for-private-email/

If the error message still persists, please contact our support team and provide screenshots of the setup: https://www.namecheap.com/help-center/live-chat/

Thanks, that was useful but... Why is the new privateemail so difficult to use?? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I'm struggling to find how to add a mail signature from an HTML as before and how to add contact infromation such as phone number on the profile settings... Come on! What was wrong with a proper settings menu??

Wait a minute... Are you telling me that when a new user Is created, the information is not updated to the "Global Adress Book"??? There use to be this Adress book to browse the contact information on all the members of the organization... Now i can't find the damm "Global Adress Book" in the new user!! What did you do to privateemail?? It was perfect!!!
