Introduction to Sun Java System Calendar Server

The Sun Java System Calendar Server connector enables you to use Evolution as a client for the Sun Java System Calendar Server. You can access one or more accounts on Sun Java System 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.

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

• A Sun Java System 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 Sun Java System 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 Sun Java System 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 Evolution window.

• Each Sun Java System 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.
