How do I sync my Outlook calendar with the server calendar?
Recently UpdatedAccess to CalDAV & CardDAV services is only available on the Professional or Enterprise package.
WebHosting|4U provides the functionality and instructions of the service but is not involved in the parameterization of devices or selected programs chosen by the user.
It is the responsibility of the final customer or the administrator (reseller) to make the necessary parameterizations on the selected devices.
The groupware software of SOGo has been installed on the email hosting service so as to support the functions of the calendar and the address book in email clients.
It can be installed on any supported desktop or mobile device.

Calendar & Address Book for MS-Outlook
The following guide will help you set up Microsoft Outlook for synchronization with the address book and calendar of the MailServer.
With this method, your address book and calendar will always be synchronized with the webmail application.
New contacts or saved events (Events) in the Outlook calendar will be created automatically in the webmail application and vice versa.
Requirements:
- You must have at least 1 mailbox (myuser@domain.gr) on the Professional or Enterprise package.
- MS-Outlook 2013 or later version.
- Plugin for MS-Outlook for synchronization.
You can download it for free from here.
Settings
To enable the synchronization feature and shared use of the address book and calendar, you need to install the required plugin for Outlook, as Outlook itself does not provide this functionality.
Once you have downloaded the plugin, extract the zip file, double-click the Setup file in the folder, and complete the installation process. At the end of the process, you need to open Outlook or restart the program if it was already open.
