Outlook Contacts & Calend...Calendar with Outlook
Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager software system from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. It provides an easy-to-use interface to manage calendars and contacts. We use the test@dynu.biz email account as an example in this tutorial.
STEP 1: Download and run Outlook CalDAV Synchronizer
First quit the Outlook application, download and install the CalDAVsynchronizer. After the installation is complete, launch the Outlook application and you will see the synchronizer add-in being loaded.
Once the Outlook application is fully launched, you will see the synchronizer in the menu. Click on CalDAV Synchronizer then Synchronization Profile. The Options window will be launched and you can click the + sign to add a profile. Choose Generic CalDAV/CardDAV then click OK.
A profile window will be loaded where you can fill in the calendar server information. All other settings are set as default except the below:
- Name: Any custom name. Here we used the test account name test@dynu.biz.
- Outlook folder: click on the ... and choose the Calendar folder.
- DAV URL: https://collaboration.dynu.com
- Username: Your email account username. In our case, test@dynu.biz.
- Password: Your email account password.
- Email address: Your email account username. In our case, test@dynu.biz.
Once you've filled in all the information, click on the Test or discover settings button so that the server information can be automatically discovered.
You will see a 'Connection test successful' message and you can click OK. Once the popup window closes, you will see the DAV URL field automatically populated with the full path. You can click OK and the calendar is set up.
STEP 2: Create an event in the calendar
You can click the calendar icon on the left menu and double-click on any date to schedule a meeting. After you click the Send button, the meeting invite is sent to all attendees and you will see the event in your calendar.
