Web calendars in MS Outlook 2007
MS Outlook 2007 allows sharing of calendars via the Internet. Calendars are available through
subscription and publishing:
•Calendar subscription — calendar subscription downloads the particular calendar from
a web server to a local store.
•Calendar publishing — calendar publishing is uploading of a calendar to a web store.
Warning: Sharing of web calendars is not identical with synchronization. In MS Outlook, sub-
scribed calendars are available only in the read-only mode. Published calendars are available
on the server for reading only (this implies that it is not edit published calendars when ac-
cessed by Kerio WebMail, for example).
Using and publishing of calendars may be helpful especially for the following purposes:
•To view a calendar of a user who has not an account in Kerio MailServer.
•To share a calendar with users who have not an account in Kerio MailServer.
•To access calendars in aKerio MailServer account if neither the Kerio Outlook Connector or
the Kerio Synchronization Plug-in is used.
•To publish calendars saved in MS Outlook if neither the Kerio Outlook Connector or the
Kerio Synchronization Plug-in is used.

8.1 Subscription to calendars

In MS Outlook, it is possible to subscribe any calendar stored on the WebDAV server in the iCal
format. This implies that it is possible to subscribe to calendars stored in Kerio MailServer
and/or iCal calendars stored on any other WebDAV server supporting the iCalendar format.
To enable subscription of a calendar in MS Outlook, the calendar needs corresponding access
rights.
If the calendar is located in Kerio MailServer, it depends whether it is your calendar or a cal-
endar of another user. It is necessary that the calendar’s owner shares the calendar (at least
by enabling read rights).
