Setup Thunderbird: SOGo Address Book and Calendar synchronization with CardDAV and CalDAV

[TOC]

SOGo Connector extention provides integration of Mozilla Thunderbird with the SOGo groupware solution. It does this by adding support for remote DAV address books and by adding features to the calendar.

Calendar (CalDAV) with Thunderbird

Configure Remote Calendar

To use SOGo calendar, we need to get the link of SOGo Calendar first.

  • Login to SOGo

  • Click Calendar on top-right corner

  • Choose the calendar you want to sync (Personal Calendar is the default one), click on 3 vertical dots, choose Link to this Calendar and copy CalDAV URL.

    Note: Some old SOGo releases might use 127.0.0.1:20000 as server address in the CardDAV URL, you must replace them by the real server address like https://<your_server_name_or_ip>/SOGo.

Launch Thunderbird to add SOGo calendar:

  • Create a new calendar by click menu on Thunderbird main window: File -> New -> Calendar, and choose On the Network for SOGo calendar:

  • on the On the Network page, choose format CalDAV, and paste the link of SOGo calendar. for example, https://<host>/SOGo/dav/<userName>/Calendar/personal/

  • Type a preferred name for this calendar, then click Continue to finish the setup.

Address Book (CardDAV) with SOGo Connector

Download and install SOGo Connector

Click the gear icon and choose Install Add-on From File

Select the downloaded SOGo Connector xpi file to install it, then restart Thunderbird.

Configure Thunderbird

To use SOGo address book, we need to get the link of SOGo Address Book first.

  • Login to SOGo

  • Click Address Book on top-right corner

  • Choose the address book you want to sync (Personal Address Book is the default one), click on 3 vertical dots, choose Link to this Address Book, and copy CardDAV URL.

    Note: Some old SOGo releases might use 127.0.0.1:20000 as server address in the CardDAV URL, you must replace them by the real server address like https://<your_server_name_or_ip>/SOGo.

Now launch Thunderbird:

  • open its Address Book (on macOS, it's menu Windows -> Address Book)
  • on Address Book window, click File -> New -> Remote Address Book

Configure the Address Book Properties:

  • Name: SOGo Address Book name (you can use whatever name you like here)
  • URL: insert link you got from SOGo above - like: https://<host>/SOGo/dav/<userName>/Contacts/personal/
  • Optionally check Periodic sync
