eM Client - Syncing Calendar and Contacts

eM Client is a powerful groupware tool that allows you to manage your professional life in one place. By connecting your Calendar (CalDAV) and Contacts (CardDAV), you can keep your schedule and address book perfectly synchronized between eM Client and your other devices.

Note: Please ensure your email account is an Enhanced mailbox, as these mailboxes support advanced synchronization features.

Step 1: Get Your Server URLs

You will need a specific URL for your Calendar and another for your Contacts. You can find these in your webmail:

  1. Log into your Webmail.

  2. Click on your Profile Picture/Icon in the top corner.

  3. Select My Account.

Troubleshooting & Tips

  • Connection Security: eM Client automatically uses secure connections for these protocols.
  • Dynamic Storage: Remember that your combined storage (including calendar attachments and contacts) is shared across your mailbox.
