DavMail accesses the Outlook Web App and provides a gateway for (mail) clients to the Exchange server of GWDG by using the protocols CalDAV for calendars and CardDAV for address books. Access to the global address book of our Exchange server can be mediated via LDAP. DavMail is open source software that has been released under the General Public License (GPLv2).
Since DavMail adheres to open standards, it has a generic configuration, which is independent of the client in use. An exception is the OSX groupware, which has a divergent configuration.
Hereafter, “userid” is the GWDG user ID.
