Thunderbird Help

Postby jgroden » Tue Nov 18, 2008 3:35 pm

Hello,

I have seen quite a bit of talk about various Thunderbird integrations (address book, lightning calendar, etc) but havent seen any set-by-step directions on how to do some of the basics. We have just transitioned to Scalix and need some of the "how-to's" on integrating Thunderbird/Lightning with Scalix.

Any takers???

Thanks in advance,

Justin

What specifically are you looking to do?

For Thunderbird, you would setup email just like any other IMAP client.

For Lightening, you would setup CalDAV the same as Sunbird here:

Thanks for the quick response.

I went through those steps in the wiki and seem to still be having trouble. It looks like it would accomplish what I am looking to do. The end goal would be to have it possible so that when I "accept" or create an invitation in TB to have it automatically sync with scalix and vice versa. That way my webmail server side shows the same information as my local client.

The end goal would also be to have my blackberry interfaced with this whole process as well. We used to have an exchange server and with TB my BB interface was limited and screwy none the less. Any input here would also be helpful.

I need also some hints in using thunderbird.
My needs are very basic.
The first is that I need to have TB linked to the main address book (the list of all emails of my domain).
The second is that I'm not able to setup a shared calendar via caldav.

For Address Book, take a look at this:

For Shared Calendars, connect to your server via http:

http://<servername>/api/dav/Calendars/Users/<user@domain>/

and you will see a list of the calendars available to the user.
