## Objective
27+
28+
Zimbra email accounts can be configured on different email clients that are compatible. This allows you to use your email address from the device of your choice. Zimbra includes the shared calendar feature, so it can be synchronized using CalDAV-compatible software.
29+
30+
**Find out how to add a Zimbra calendar to an application via the CalDAV protocol.**
31+
32+
## Requirements
33+
34+
- An OVHcloud Zimbra email account
35+
- An application supporting the CalDAV calendar protocol installed
36+
- Login details for the email account on which to configure the calendar
37+
38+
## Instructions
39+
40+
### What is the CalDAV protocol?
41+
42+
CalDAV is a protocol for sharing calendars and online tasks. Zimbra email accounts have calendars that use the CalDAV protocol.
43+
44+
CalDAV calendar configuration is similar to email account configuration and requires an application that supports this protocol.
45+
46+
### Configuring the CalDAV Calendar on compatible software
47+
48+
We have selected stable applications that are compatible with the CalDAV protocol.
49+
50+
- **For Windows**: Follow the [Add a calendar on Thunderbird](#thunderbird) section.
51+
- **For macOS**: Follow the section [Add a calendar on macOS](#apple-macos) or [Add a calendar on Thunderbird](#thunderbird).
52+
- **For Linux**: Follow the [Add a calendar on Thunderbird](#thunderbird) section.
53+
- **For iPhone and iPad**: Follow the [Add a calendar on iOS and ipadOS](#apple-ios) section.
54+
- **For Android**: Follow the guide [Zimbra - Configuring your email account on the Zimbra mobile application](/pages/web_cloud/email_and_collaborative_solutions/zimbra/mail_app_zimbra_for_android_ios).
55+
56+
> [!warning]
57+
>
58+
> Android devices do not currently offer native support for the CalDAV protocol, neither is there currently a stable third-party app that is able to sync Zimbra calendars for our offers.
59+
>
60+
> Only the Zimbra app, based on its Webmail, is able to view shared calendars on an Android device.
61+
62+
#### General settings for a CalDAV Zimbra calendar <a name="general-settings"></a>
63+
64+
If you are using a CalDAV-compatible application, here are the general settings you need to set up a CalDAV Zimbra calendar:
65+
66+
- **Server/Address/URL**: Enter the value `zimbra1.mail.ovh.net`. For some software applications, you will need to include the “https” protocol in the address. Enter the value “https://zimbra1.mail.ovh.net”.
67+
- **Username**: Enter the full email address associated with the calendar.
68+
- **Password**: Enter the password for the email account associated with the calendar.
