CalDAV Calendar Synchronization

CalDAV support is integrated into MXroute's webmail interface, allowing you to synchronize your calendars across multiple devices and platforms.

What is CalDAV?

CalDAV (Calendar Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an internet standard that allows calendar applications to access and manage calendar data on a remote server. With CalDAV support, you can:

• Access your calendars from multiple devices
• Sync events and appointments automatically
• Receive notifications for upcoming events
• Manage your schedule from anywhere

CalDAV in MXroute

MXroute has integrated CalDAV functionality as part of our webmail service upgrade. This was one of our most requested features, and we're pleased to provide it to our users.

Key benefits include:

• Seamless synchronization between your webmail calendar and external calendar applications
• Access to your scheduling information from any device
• Ability to manage calendar events through our webmail interface or your preferred calendar application

Creating a CalDAV Connection

To set up CalDAV synchronization, follow these steps:

1. Open Calendar in Webmail

   • Log into webmail.mxroute.com
   • Navigate to the Calendar section

2. Create the CalDAV Connection

   • Locate the calendar you want to sync
   • Hover your mouse over the calendar name
   • Click the pencil icon to edit the calendar
   • Go to the "Sync calendar" tab
   • Enter a display name for the connection
   • Create a password for this specific connection
   • Optional: Check "Read only" if you don't want changes made from other devices
   • Click "Add" button

3. Record the Connection Details

   • The connection will appear in the connections list
   • Note the displayed connection details (you'll need these to set up your calendar applications)

INFO

Once you've created a connection, you can use the same set of credentials across multiple devices and applications.

After creating your CalDAV connection, you can use the generated connection details to set up your calendar applications.

MXroute's CalDAV server is compatible with most CalDAV-enabled calendar applications, including:

• Apple Calendar (macOS and iOS)
