Calendar and contacts

The webmail comes with the address book and the calendar built in. Both are stored in the mail service and run on the open standards CardDAV and CalDAV, so they can also be used in any other program speaking those standards.

Address book

Section titled “Address book”

Contacts in vCard 4 format, with a photo if you add one; without it the list shows initials. They also feed the recipient autocomplete while composing a message.

Calendar

Section titled “Calendar”

Views for month, week, day and agenda, with recurring appointments (RRULE) and time zones.

Interlocking with mail

Section titled “Interlocking with mail”

This is where the real gain over separate programs lies:

  • Invitations in mail are rendered as a card, with a conflict check against your calendar and a direct accept or decline.
  • Appointments in running text are detected, German wording included, and can be taken over.
  • A sender becomes an address book entry through add to contacts.

Using them in other programs

Section titled “Using them in other programs”

Because both speak CardDAV and CalDAV, contacts and appointments can be used in Thunderbird, iOS, Android and any other program supporting those standards. The data stays the same; the webmail is one view of it, not its only home.
