D-PHYS Calendar (SOGo) Client Config¶

Synchronization with external clients¶

SOGo offers both CalDAV and ActiveSync. Use CalDAV for Apple devices and Thunderbird and ActiveSync for Android and Outlook.

SyncURLs¶

Note that if additional calendars don't show up on your sync clients with ActiveSync, you might have to enable "Microsoft Enterprise ActiveSync" in the calendar context menu.

Add Sogo in Outlook¶

go to Control Panel -> Mail (Microsoft Outlook) -> E-Mail Accounts... -> New... -> Manual setup or additional server types -> Exchange ActiveSync

Add Sogo in Apple Calendar¶

Add a new CalDAV account, depending on your operating system:

• On macOS: open System Settings -> Internet Accounts
• On iOS: open Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts

Click Add Account -> Other -> CalDAV Account and enter the following information:

Once the account is added, you can use the Delegation tab to show additional calenders that you have access to.

Add Sogo in Thunderbird¶

SOGo and Thunderbird can sync out of the box using the CalDAV protocol. In order to set it up, just right click in the calendar tab of Thunderbird, choose New calendar, On the Network, and then provide your D-PHYS login and https://sogo.phys.ethz.ch/SOGo/dav for Location. Thunderbird will then offer you all calendars you have access to.

Add Sogo in Android¶

ActiveSync¶

In order to set up your Sogo calendar in Android, go to Settings -> Accounts and Settings -> Manage accounts -> Add account -> Exchange, then provide your D-PHYS email address and hit Set up manually. Provide your D-PHYS password and change the Server settings like so:

then hit Next. You can then do some fine tuning in the account settings.

Note that some people have experienced issues with Exchange sync simply stopping after some time - it seems the ActiveSync client in Android is not very reliable. In these cases you might want to switch to a CalDAV based sync (see below).
