Enhanced mailboxes allow you to sync calendars (CalDAV) and contacts (CardDAV) across multiple devices with applications that support the CardDAV/CalDAV protocols.


In Outlook you can sync via CalDAV / CardDAV by installing the caldavsynchronizer - an Open Source plugin that you can install on your computer and use with your Outlook. This plugin supports Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2016 and is Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS), licensed under AGPL 3 and developed by Alexander Nimmervoll and Gerhard Zehetbauer. You can find the project on Github and SourceForge.


This is a step-by-step guide to installing and setting up the caldavsynchronizer plugin.


1. Download the caldavsynchronizer


You can download the caldavsynchronizer plugin from the project's website:  https://caldavsynchronizer.org/


2. Install the caldavsynchronizer


Extract the downloaded .zip file and start the installation. Once the installation is complete, you will see a new ribbon called "CalDav Synchronizer" in your Outlook.


                 


3. Get your CalDAV / CardDAV URLs


First, you need to obtain your CalDAV / CardDAV URLs. CalDAV is for Calendar synchronization, and CardDAV is for Contacts.

5. Synchronize your new Profile


If the synchronization didn't start automatically, you could manually sync by going to the CalDAV Synchronization ribbon in Outlook and clicking the Synchronize now option.


       



You can now set up a new Calendar or Contact list by adding a new Profile (step 4).
