Calendar: subscriptions, import and export.

Use the calendar in webmail, subscribe to published calendars, move events in and out as .ics files, and sync with your phone.

The calendar in webmail

Calendar is at the top of webmail's left column. It has day, week, month, year and agenda views, and invitations you receive by mail can be answered right in the message. Under the list of calendars you can create a new calendar; a calendar's menu renames or deletes it, and its checkbox shows or hides it.

Subscribe to a published calendar

  1. Open the calendar and choose Subscribe to a calendar… under the list of calendars.
  2. Paste the address of the calendar feed (an .ics address starting with https:// or webcal://) and give it a name.
  3. The feed's events appear as a new, read-only calendar. Deleting that calendar ends the subscription.
  • A subscribed calendar is read again when you open the calendar, at most once an hour, or when you choose Refresh now in its menu. It is not refreshed in the background.
  • A mailbox can have up to 10 subscriptions.
  • Feeds that need a sign-in cannot be subscribed to, and a feed's reminders and participants are not kept.

Import and export events

  • Import: a calendar's menu has Import events…, which takes an .ics file of up to 2 MB and 1,000 events. Events that are already in one of your calendars are skipped, so importing a file twice adds nothing, and nobody is invited or notified.
  • Export: Export (.ics) in the same menu downloads all events of that calendar as one file.

Sync and reminders

Your calendars sync to phones and computers over CalDAV: see Apple Mail for the one-step profile, or IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV settings for other apps. Reminders in webmail appear only while webmail is open in a tab; with it closed, reminders reach you through the calendar app on a device that syncs over CalDAV.
