Is there a scheduled sync for calendar and addresses? For calendars over CalDAV in Thunderbird you need the add-on Lightning. For address books over CardDAV you need the add-on Connector from Inverse, and eventually the add-on Integrator from Inverse. http://www.sogo.nu/english/downloads/frontends.html Be aware: * Inverse only supports Thunderbird ESR, because it uses lower release cycles. * Thunderbird 10 ESR is only compatible with Lightning 1.2.X * The Integrator add-on must be adapted manually before installing it in Thunderbird. For details read the documentation. http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Mozilla%20Thunderbird%20Configuration.pdf > 2.

This depends on the scope of the calendar/address book. If it is only a shortly used calendar/address book for some dozen group members, then someone out of the user group creates a new one and shares it with its colleagues. If it is a long living one with a larger user base, then I would recommend to create a separate account for these shared calendars/address books and share it to the users. Also could groups in LDAP be created and used for sharing. > I am seeing shared addresses but nothing in it. What they are for? What you see here is the global address book out of LDAP. It contains all valid SOGo users. It is used e.g. in autocompletion, when you set privileges, write emails or invite persons to events. You don't see any addresses in it, because the global address book is only searchable, not listable. To see some addresses, just enter something in the search bar on the right side. Then SOGo will display some matching addresses. These are limited, in our case it will display at most 25 matching entries (unsorted!). > 3. When adding a addressbook it can not be accessed from TB.

If you don't use Integrator, then you have to manually configure each address book form SOGo seperately.
