Support for Windows Calendar
Windows Calendar is a Microsoft Corporation’s application used for calendar management on
Windows Vista. This application enables to view events of multiple calendars in a single sched-
ule and thus quickly identify conflicts in the time schedule. Calendars may be either stored on
the disk or it is possible to subscribe for calendars stored at the web server. It is also possible
to publish calendars on the web server.
Kerio MailServer supports publishing of calendars in user email accounts on the server and
subscription of calendars stored in the mailbox from the Windows Calendar. In addition to
subscription to their own calendars, users can also subscribe to calendars shared by other
users.
Warning:
1. In Windows Calendar, subscribed calendars are available only in the read-only mode. Pub-
lished calendars are available on the server for reading only (this implies that it is not edit
published calendars when accessed by Kerio WebMail, for example).
2. The Windows Calendar application does not allow connection to more than one user ac-
count located on a single server at a time.
3. Kerio MailServer does not support tasks created and saved in Windows Calendar.
Note: If calendars published as subfolders of the default calendar called Calendar, all events
will also be displayed in the Free/Busy calendar.
9.1 Subscription to calendars
It is possible to subscribe any calendar stored on the WebDAV server in the iCal format. This
implies that it is possible to subscribe to calendars stored in Kerio MailServer and/or iCal
calendars stored on any other WebDAV server supporting the iCalendar format.
To enable subscription of a calendar in MS Outlook, the calendar needs corresponding access
rights.
If the calendar is located in Kerio MailServer, it depends whether it is your calendar or a cal-
endar of another user. It is necessary that the calendar’s owner shares the calendar (at least
by enabling read rights).
Calendars can be subscribed through the Share → Subscribe menu:
1. To subscribe a calendar in Kerio MailServer, a valid URL is required (see figure 9.1 ). The
address must follow this pattern:
