Change log: Some notes on connecting with Outlook 2013
@@ -161,8 +161,18 @@
A special note for the iPhone/iPod (and possibly others) - if you do
not use a SSL enabled site you may receive errors about not being able
to find the !ActiveSync server. If this happens, just continue, or
save, or whatever your option is to continue. On the iPhone, after
everything is completely set up, you must go back into the account
settings and disable SSL.
After the connection particulars are entered, you should choose to
enable the folders that you want synchronized.
+
+++ Outlook Connectivity
+
+Starting with Outlook 2013, Outlook has the ability to synchronize
via Exchange !ActiveSync. This requires at least version 14.0 of the
EAS protocol, which Horde supports starting with Horde 5.1 (the
ActiveSync library supports this starting with 2.4.0 if you are not
using it with Horde). It's important to remember that connecting via
ActiveSync does not provide all the same functionality of Outlook as
you would get when connecting directly to an Exchange server.
+
+If you have correctly setup your server to handle Autodiscover
requests, you should be able to create the Outlook account using the
basic "Email Account" screen. If you have trouble, or you don't have
Autodiscover setup, you should select manual setup and then
"Outlook.com or Exchange !ActiveSync compatible service". Do *NOT*
select "Microsoft Exchange Server or compatible service".
+
++++ Issues/Workarounds
+
+For some reason, Outlook 2013 doesn't use EAS to provide Free/Busy
lookup, even though the version of the EAS protocol it uses supports
it. If you want Outlook to be able to lookup Free/Busy information
using Horde/Kronolith you need to provide it with the Free/Busy URL.
Under //File -> Options -> Calendar Options// select the "Free/Busy
Options" button. Enter Kronolith's Free/Busy URL:
http://example.com/horde/kronolith/fb.php?u=%NAME%. The %NAME% string
will be replaced by the user portion of the SMTP mailing address used
in the meeting request.
++ What to do if you have problems (or How to help us help you)
**First off, you should check the list of
((ActiveSync/KnownIssues|known issues)) to see if your problem is
expected or not**. You can also check the Horde bug tracker to see if
your issue has been reported already.
