Synchronisation data
There are a wide variety of calendar and address book programmes that support data synchronisation via CalDAV and CardDAV. This article provides the login details you need to set up the most common programmes. For basic guidance on setting up CalDAV and CardDAV, please refer to the user guide for your calendar or address book programme or device.
Please note that we do not offer support for third-party solutions.

How to find the URL of your calendar server
Although many programmes can now detect your server’s URL, if this does not happen automatically, you can always retrieve the address from the mailbox calendar:
Open mailbox in your preferred browser and log in to your account. Now open the calendar you want to use. Click on the three dots next to the calendar name to open the calendar’s settings. Click on Properties here.
The CalDAV URL field displays the full path to your mailbox calendar. Copy this as the calendar server entry for your own calendar programme.
The birthday calendar is a virtual calendar and cannot be synchronised.
How to find your address book’s ID
Open the Address book menu item in the mailbox Suite. In the left-hand column, select which address book you wish to use in your external programme. Click on the three dots next to the address book name to open the address book’s settings. Click on Properties here. The CardDAV URL field contains the ID you need for the entry in your address book programme.
A complete CardDAV URL for the address book with the ID 32 is as follows:
https://dav.mailbox.org/carddav/32
