DavMail (Exchange, Outlook)
---------------------------
Using vdirsyncer with DavMail_ is possible, but you might get confronted with
weird errors coming from old Exchange servers, malformed calendar entries with
special characters and/or using an old DavMail version.
DavMail_ is a proxy program that allows you to use Card- and CalDAV clients
with Outlook. That allows you to use vdirsyncer with Outlook.
In practice your success with DavMail may wildly vary. Depending on your
Exchange server you might get confronted with weird errors of all sorts
(including data-loss).
**Make absolutely sure you use the latest DavMail**::
[storage outlook]
type = "caldav"
url = "http://localhost:1080/"
url = "http://localhost:1080/users/user@example.com/calendar/"
username = "user@example.com"
password = ...
- Older versions of DavMail handle URLs case-insensitively. See :gh:`144`.
- DavMail is handling old broken events very poorly. In such cases the
`Calendar Checking Tool for Outlook
- DavMail is handling malformed data on the Exchange server very poorly. In
such cases the `Calendar Checking Tool for Outlook
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28786>`_ might
help.
If you encounter any problems, do report them to me, but it's probably not
vdirsyncer's fault.
