By default, it's not possible to synchronize Microsoft and Apple devices since Microsoft doesn't support the CalDav synchronization format as a standard.
However, you have the option to install an extension for your Outlook, allowing you to sync this calendar with the one you have on your Apple devices.
Tip: If you also have an iPhone that you want to synchronize with your Outlook calendar, you can follow a guide for that here: How to set up calendar and contacts on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Download and Install the Extension
Start by downloading the extension for your Outlook calendar here.
Once the extension is downloaded, install it and then restart Outlook.
If the extension is correctly installed, you'll be able to see it in your menu, as shown below:
Please note that this is a third-party extension for Outlook, and it might not work with all versions of Outlook, for example.
Setting up the Extension to Fetch Calendar Events from the Server
Inside the extension, select the "Synchronization Profiles" menu, as shown below:
In here, do the following:
- Click on the small green plus icon.
- Choose a name for your profile.
- Select the folder where calendar events should be saved. We simply choose the calendar folder in Outlook. Please note that the selected calendar will be synced with your cPanel calendar.
When this is done, we need to fill in the login details for the server.
-
As the DAV URL, enter "https://mail.yourmaindomain.com" followed by ":2080", resulting in https://mail.yourmaindomain.com:2080. Of course, replace yourmaindomain.com with your own main domain. Please note that in some cases, CalDav Synchronizer may change "https://mail.yourmaindomain.com:2080" to another URL retrieved from the server. If this happens, use the URL retrieved from the server.
-
As the username, use the email you are trying to set up the calendar for.
- The code is the same as the one you use for the respective email.
You can click "Test or discover settings" to test the connection. If it works, you will receive a success message.
In some cases, CalDav Synchronizer will ask you to add a slash (/) after the CalDav URL—please do so if prompted.
Under "Synchronization Mode," select "Two Way" if it is not already selected for you.
You can choose how often you want to synchronize under "Synchronization interval."
Now, your calendar should sync with your iPhone or Mac and webmail.
Errors and Solutions:
Many events in your webmail calendar?
If you have many events to synchronize from your webmail, you may need to reduce the synchronization days, so you only synchronize 30 days back and, for example, 100 days ahead, as shown below:
And then...
