Read Calendaring Advice for Administrators


Calendar service
The Calendar service in Mailtraq Professional allows individual users to manage their schedules online through Mailtraq's Webmail system.

The schedules created with this feature can be shared on a per-user basis - some users can be permitted to view, others to both view and edit.

Even greater control over who can see what is provided by allowing each user to have more than one calendar - so a user can set up a calendar to manage a particular project, and share it amongst team members, whilst keeping their personal calendar private.

The system automates the handling of  meeting requests by sending invitation emails, and automatically collating their responses.

Designed for use in global scenarios, the calendaring system is time-zone aware.
 

ICS Calendar Invitations

WebMail supports ICS invitation attachments. This means you can click on an attached invitation and add it to your own calendar and Webmail (set up) will accept Calendar invitations from Outlook.

 

Accessing the Calendar system
The Calendaring service is integrated into the Mailtraq Webmail system to provide the widest availability without the need to install specialist client software on individual users' machines - just the standard web browser.

Enabling ICS Calendaring
ICS calendaring is not enabled by default. You must enable it via the Webmail Administrators 'Admin' page. Read more...

Sharing Outlook Calendars

All Group Ware features are included in your Mailtraq Professional license - there are no additional charges.

Your calendars can easily be synchronized with calendars in Microsoft® Outlook™ - and from there with PDAs.

Configuration Tips

Disable ICS
If you are working in an environment that does not support ICS Calendar Invitations - for example, if you are using Outlook Express as your mail clients - you can turn-off ICS invites by following this procedure:

 

Before you start use Tools | Backup Configuration - just to be safe.

Shut down Mailtraq and locate the 'system.cfg' file normally located here:
C:\Program Files\Mailtraq\database\configuration

Locate the entry:

DisableCalendarIcsInvites=0

and change it to:

DisableCalendarIcsInvites=1

and Save. Restart Mailtraq.

This facility is available from build 2.12.1.2364
