# How do I configure calendars and address books?

The **CalDAV** (for calendars) and **CardDAV** (for address books) protocols are open standards that let you sync your events and address books across multiple devices. With these protocols, you can view, add, or edit an appointment or contact from your phone, computer, or webmail, and see the changes appear everywhere in real time.

With cPanel, you can enable this synchronization for your email accounts using compatible applications such as iOS, macOS, and Thunderbird, or by adding plugins for Outlook and Android.

## Compatible Applications and Required Plugins

### Applications with Native CalDAV/CardDAV Support

* iOS (iPhone, iPad)
* macOS
* Thunderbird (Windows, Linux, and macOS)
These applications can connect directly to your cPanel account without any additional plugin.

### Applications Requiring a Third-Party Plugin

> Third-party plugins are not officially supported by cPanel. While our technical support can help you check that the plugin is configured correctly, we cannot investigate or escalate any issue related to their use.

* Microsoft Outlook (Windows): use the [Outlook CalDAV Synchronizer](https://caldavsynchronizer.org) plugin
* Android: use the [DAVx⁵](https://www.davx5.com) app

## Configuration
To configure your CalDAV/CardDAV account, you'll need the following information:

* Username: your full email address
* Password: your email account password
* Server URL: `https://mail.mapetitentreprise.re:2080` (replace `mapetitentreprise.re` with your domain name)
* Alternate URL: `https://mail.mapetitentreprise.re:2080/principals/utilisateur@mapetitentreprise.re/` (replace `mapetitentreprise.re` with your domain name and `utilisateur@mapetitentreprise.re` with your full email address)
Note: Some applications may not support automatic discovery. If the server URL doesn't work, use the alternate URL to work around this limitation.

4. **Test and save:** Click "Test or discover settings", then "OK" if everything looks good.
5. **Start syncing:** Click "Synchronize Now".

### Configuring Android with DAVx⁵

5. **Enable syncing:** Turn on automatic or manual synchronization based on your preferences.
