We need a calendaring system that integrates with Thunderbird, Outlook, and Android and iOS smartphones. The bigger picture of what I’m trying to do is to see if we can keep using eGroupware for our calendar system.
Neither shows the eGroupware free/busy time for invitees. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I’ve made my eGroupware free/busy time available to not logged in persons and after doing so I’ve tried inviting people to an event in Thunderbird with their eGroupware username or their email address. I added it via Thunderbird/AddressBook/File/New/Remote Address Book/ but when inviting users, Thunderbird contacts our email server rather than our eGroupware server. Adding in the address to SOGo for the free/busy time I had been using SOGo for a different address book. Search for tbsync and then add each of the following add-ons: 1) TbSync and 2) Provider for Exchange ActiveSync.Thank you for answering.
To make the EAS connection, you will need to enter your groupware server name, email address and password.Īfter you get it installed, you can get the TbSync Add-on by clicking the menu icon and clicking Add-ons / Get Add-ons. By default, Thunderbird supports POP3 and IMAP connections for email, and using IMAP you can sync your email to your preferred IMAP mail server. To synchronize calendars and contacts, all you have to do is install a simple little Thunderbird Add-on called TbSync which uses EAS and/or CalDAV/CardDAV protocols to connect to your Groupware server. Thunderbird might actually be the first and oldest Outlook alternative, and it also provides a stable EAS solution. And while most of these modern clients support Exchange, most of them do not include support for EAS. Enter Mozilla Thunderbird. There are lots of desktop email clients – emClient, BlueMail, and Mailbird to name a few. That move left many desktop PC users looking outside the box alternatives to Outlook. And while most mobile apps (Bluemail, BlackBerry Hub, Outlook and Gmail) work nicely with Exchange ActiveSync, the same unfortunately cannot be said for Windows desktop clients.Īs a result of performance issues, Microsoft discontinued support for Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) in Outlook 2016 making it difficult to sync email, calendars and contacts. We look at lots of email clients and mobile apps.
