Hi

I have one account with one personal calendar and two shared calendars, I can see all of then in the webmail client but same account with Outlook using Activesync only show the personal calendar, not the others.

Also I can't create calendars in Outlook, only from the webmail side.

Are these limitations of the Activesync implementation?

No way to use shared calendars in Outlook

According to the specifications with Activesync we can use shared calendars in Outlook >=2013 (http://static.altn.com/Collateral/Datasheets/US_MDaemon-Mail-Server_Mail-Client-Options_Comparison-Guide.pdf) but I can't figure how to do it.

I can share calendars and all works fine in the webmail side, but Outlook (with activesync account configured) only shows the users calendars, is there any trick to do this?

Solved, founded that option inside client settings under ActiveSync, don't know why it was unchecked.

Thank you for the update.

From the MDaemon online "Help" file:

http://help.altn.com/mdaemon/en/index.html?activesync--client-settings.htm

Include

Public Folder hierarchy

Check this box if you want the public folders to which a user has access to be included in the user's folder list on ActiveSync devices. This is enabled by default.

Include shared folders

Check this box if you want the shared folders to which a user has access to be included in the user's folder list on ActiveSync devices. This is enabled by default.

Apparently as of MDaemon v20.0.0, both of these features are enabled by default. In previous versions of MDaemon, I think I remember only the feature "Include shared folders" shared folders being enabled by default and "Public Folder hierarchy" was not.

At any rate, these are the two settings which control whether or not ActiveSync clients can synchronize with either "public folders" or "shared folders".
