Plugin settings
After simply installing the plugin, you will see a new tab in your Outlook.
- To set up your calendar and mail, go to “Synchronization Profiles”
2. A new window will be displayed (blank for new settings). For further settings, click on the green plus sign at the top left
3. You will then see predefined options for different providers. Active24 is not among them, so keep the Generic CalDAV/CardDAV option selected
4. You will see the settings screen. Fill in the highlighted sections
- Name = profile name. You can specify a name according to your own preferences
- Username = Add your email here
- Password = Fill in this field with the password to your email box
- Email address = Add your email here
- Synchronization mode = synchronization options. Here you can choose whether you want to download items from the server, upload items from your device to the server, or both (recommended, default)
- Synchronization interval = synchronization interval with the server. After this time (in minutes), the calendar/contacts will be synchronized with the server.
