Syncing with Windows

This guide explains how to configure Davnode on Windows.

Note: The native “Mail & Calendar” app and the “New Outlook for Windows” do not currently support generic CalDAV/CardDAV servers. We recommend using Thunderbird or Outlook Classic with a plugin.

​

Server Settings

Keep these settings handy for configuration:

​

Option 1: Mozilla Thunderbird (Recommended)

Thunderbird supports CalDAV and CardDAV natively without extra plugins.

​

1. Add Calendar (CalDAV)

1. Open Thunderbird and switch to the Calendar tab.
2. In the left sidebar, right-click and select New Calendar…
3. Select On the Network and click Next.
4. Enter the User Name (your Davnode email).
5. For Location, enter the server URL: https://mail.davnode.com (Or the specific calendar URL if your setup requires a full path)
6. Click Find Calendars.
7. Enter your Davnode password when prompted.
8. Select the calendars you wish to sync and click Subscribe.

​

2. Add Contacts (CardDAV)

1. Open the Address Book tab in Thunderbird.
2. Click the arrow next to New Address Book and select Add CardDAV Address Book.
3. Enter your User Name (Davnode email) and Location: https://mail.davnode.com
4. Click Continue.
5. Enter your password if prompted.
6. Thunderbird will detect your address books. Click Continue to finish.

Option 2: Microsoft Outlook (Classic)

Outlook does not support CalDAV/CardDAV natively. You must install a plugin. We recommend the free open-source Outlook CalDav Synchronizer.

​

1. Install Plugin

1. Download and install Outlook CalDav Synchronizer.
2. Restart Outlook. You will see a new CalDav Synchronizer tab in the top ribbon.

​

2. Configure Calendar

1. Click CalDav Synchronizer > Synchronization Profiles.
2. Click the + (Plus) icon to add a new profile.
3. Select Generic CalDAV/CardDAV and click OK.
4. Configure the profile:
   • Name: Davnode Calendar
   • Outlook Folder: Select your Calendar folder.
   • DAV URL: https://mail.davnode.com/
   • Username: Your Davnode email.
   • Password: Your Davnode password.
5. Click Test or discover settings.
6. Select your calendar resource and click OK.

​

3. Configure Contacts

1. In the Synchronization Profiles window, click + again.
2. Select Generic CalDAV/CardDAV.
3. Configure the profile:
   • Name: Davnode Contacts
   • Outlook Folder: Select your Contacts folder.
   • DAV URL: https://mail.davnode.com/
   • Username: Your Davnode email.
   • Password: Your Davnode password.
4. Click Test or discover settings.
5. Select your address book resource and click OK.

Troubleshooting

​

”Calendar Not Found” in Thunderbird

If Thunderbird cannot auto-detect the calendar at the base URL:

• Try entering the full path to your specific calendar if you know it (e.g., https://mail.davnode.com/calendars/[email protected]/default/).

​

Outlook Plugin Sync Issues

If Outlook is not updating:

1. Go to the CalDav Synchronizer tab.
2. Click Synchronize Now to force an update.
3. Check Reports to see if there are authentication errors (ensure your password hasn’t changed).
