Apple Mac iCal Calendars sync using CalDav

Summary

Apple's iCal Calendar.app syncs your zMailCloud account calendars, including calendars shared to you.

Have you got 2-step authentication setup? If so, you must first create an application passcode for your device, using the webmail client, in Preferences > Accounts > Account Security, and use that as your password. See: [Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)](https://admin.cloudiance.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&catid=2&id=6)

Instructions

1. Open the Mac Calendar application.

2. Go to Calendar > Preferences:

3. Click on Accounts at the top of the Preferences window and click the + sign to add a new account:

4. Select 'Other CalDAV account', then select Continue

5. In the new account pane, enter your zMailCloud account info:

Account Type: Manual
Username: your full zMailCloud email address
Password: your password
Server: yourcompany.zmailcloud.com (replace yourcompany with your custom server address).  

Once you have entered your info, click Create to add your account to the Mac Calendar application.

Important: in your Calendar application, please verify you have selected Cloudiance as your default. It must be manually selected in each of your applications/devices (e.g.: on your iPhone and tablet too!), otherwise you will likely eventually have calendar synchronization problems. When you refresh your devices or Mac (new operating system, some upgrades, or just getting a new phone, for instance), check that Cloudiance remains your default account!
