Introduction to Sun Java System Calendar Server

The Java System Calendar Server connector enables you to use Email and Calendar as a client for the Java System Calendar Server. You can access one or more accounts on Calendar Server, send and receive invitations to meetings, and share calendar access with other people in your organization. The server is designed to work with LDAP directory servers and POP or IMAP email servers, which you can configure separately.

Calendar Server accounts are distinct from email or directory server accounts, and have their own section in the Settings dialog. Calendar Server accounts and folders differ from other Email and Calendar folders in the following ways:

• A Calendar Server account always has at least three folders: Personal Calendar, Personal Tasks, and Personal Invitations. You cannot delete these three folders. To delete other folders that you create, right-click on the folder then select Delete from the popup menu.

• The Calendar Server does not support nested folders more than one level deep. Each folder that you create or open exists on the same level as all other folders. Each folder that you create automatically contains three subfolders: Calendar, Tasks, and Invitations.

• As with individual mail accounts, each Calendar Server account is displayed as a top-level folder in the folder pane. You can drag one or more folders to the shortcuts bar to create shortcuts, but no shortcuts are created automatically. To display the folder pane, choose View -> Folder Bar from the main Email and Calendar window.

• Each Calendar Server folder has two types of ownership: primary ownership and normal ownership. If you create a folder, you are the primary owner and have all of the access permissions for the folder. You can also add others to the list of owners for that folder. You can set different access levels for the other owners. For more information, see Setting Access Permissions for Folders.
