Additional Configuration Options

  • Advanced Sync Settings: Adjust sync filters, time ranges, or specific folder options if needed.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

    • Double-check the CalDAV URL, username, and password.
  2. Sync Errors:
    • Review the error log in the CalDAV Synchronizer settings for specific issues.
  3. Duplicate Events:
    • Enable deduplication in the plugin settings to prevent duplicates.
  4. Slow Sync:
    • Reduce the sync frequency or limit the time range for synced events.

By following these steps, you can easily set up and use Outlook CalDAV Synchronizer to sync your SOGo calendar with Outlook, ensuring your events stay up-to-date across both platforms. Enjoy the convenience of two-way calendar synchronization!
