iPhone/iPad

  1. Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
  2. Select Add Account
  3. Select Other, then Add CalDAV Account
  4. Enter the details as requested:
    • In Server enter the URL of your CalDAV server. This is usually the same as your mail server, and it should be entered in this format:
      https://<your-server-name>/davical/caldav.php/<username>
    • User Name is your network user name, usually same as you use on your main computer.
    • Password is the password you use with the above user name.
    • Description is your way of distinguishing it from any other calendaring system you use.
  5. Select Calendars and or Reminders (CalDAV does both) and click Save.

If you want to access shared calendars, then you can replace <username> in the URL with the name of the shared resource. By default we use shared.

  1. Install the Lightning plug-in
  2. Restart Thunderbird to activate the plugin, and then go to Events and Tasks -> Calendar

  4. Select On the Network, and click Next
  5. Select CalDAV and type the following into the Location Box:
    https://<your-server-name>/davical/caldav.php/<username>/<calendar> where calendar is the name of the calendar you want to use. Unless you already have one, we suggest using Calendar, although home is often used by Mac's and iPhones.
