Calendar with Exchange Server

[sameerbagwe]

Hi,

Is the Outlook calendar supported yet? I see the Calendar folder but apparently it's empty and not syncing.

thanks

[b8e5n]

not that I want to use it, but I need it. So this is a must have for me! Also the meeting scheduling with the information of availability for the people. Thanks

[resilva87]

Same here!

I agree the calendar support is a high priority. However, the "Calendar Folder" is an artifact of the Outlook hierarchy. That folder shows up in other mail clients "empty" because it contains the calendar items that are not formatted like emails. So they don't show up. If you create other calendars you might notice a similar thing where folders of those calendar names show up.

+1 Really want to use N1 over thunderbird but I really can't until we get an integrated event calendar. I just checked the trello board and couldn't find anything for integrated calendar there yet.

+1. Also need it!

+1. I feel this is a must for an exchange account

[dominikzogg]

+1 for calendar support (could be a standalone app, build the same way)

[almoore]

I agree this could be a stand alone app, or a window that is able to open. It should be included in the same package.

Prospects for this client are more then bright, but personally I can't make a switch until there's a working calendar.

[grinich]

Full calendar or just invites? What are you using right now?

Full calendar, with alerts and with the ability to add multiple calendars. Currently I'm using thunderbird with lightning calendar

[AdnanHodzic]

@grinich multiple (full) calendar will alerts. Using Icedove (Debian rebranded Thunderbird).

To get this working I'm using following extensions:

• ExQuilla for Microsoft Exchange (access to email/contacts)
• Exchange EWS Provider (syncs Calendar, Tasks and Contacts)
• Iceowl (Lightning Calendar extension for Icedove/Thunderbird)

To get full integration with my GNOME desktop and GNOME calendar app, I've also added Exchange/Google account using "Online Accounts" which have support for calendar among other things.

need this! i'm cool with a light calendar which shows me upcoming events from exchange

[spetz83]

At the very least, N1 should recognize when an ICS has been sent in an email, parse the contents and render them in the body of the email. Right now if I get a meeting invite I have to open thunderbird to see a parsed view of the meeting invite.

[spetz83]

I guess I should clarify. It already parses the name of the meeting and Date/Time. I would like it to also parse out the proposed attendees, proposed meeting place, whether or not the event has been canceled, etc. I'm attaching a screenshot of a comparison of the same event rendered in Thunderbird vs N1.

So far, Nylas email client is very nice...Yes, an addition of Exchange calendar (the #1 reason Exchange gained popularity ) is needed...

Thank you,

[Wiubiki]

+1 Currently I have partially switched to Nylas N1. With a working calendar feature will make a complete (and irriversible) switch to Nylas :D

I currently am stuck between N1 and Thunderbird. I have DavMail (LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV) and Lightning running alongside N1. I really do like Lightning (it has every feature I could want), but I think that N1 can do a great job as well!

Merging this into #44. We do support Exchange calendars in the sync engine, we just haven't finished the Calendar UI yet :-). Stay tuned!

[luispabon]

Any progress made on calendars? I love N1, but I can't commit myself to it unless it integrates a working calendar.

The majority of folks will not adopt until a calendar is offered.. this being the year 2005 and all..

[suoko]

Nothing yet?

[djMax]

Yeah, doesn't work for me either. It's concerning that calendar is not supported, but it's more concerning that there doesn't seem to be much activity around adding it.

[doitonlinemedia]

Same here would love to have it. For now I use a OWA (Outlook Web Access) just for my calendar. This is really stressfull. I have a one year license but ain't planning to renew it as long there isn't a fully working calendar.

[spetz83]

@doitonlinemedia So, they "merged" this issue into #44, and then just closed #44. And now they have been silent on it for almost 2 years. So, I think it is pretty safe to say that they have no intention of providing this.

[grinich]

This GitHub issue is not asking for a enhancement or reporting a bug. A calendar app would be an entirely new project and thus doesn't belong in this repo.

[dominikzogg]

@grinich the ability to accept or decline events without seeing them is weird in my point of view

[spetz83]

@grinich The github page for Nylas N1, at least at the time, encouraged users to suggest new features and vote on features you wanted via the issues section on Github. @bengotow commented on this issue talking about the "We do support Exchange calendars in the sync engine, we just haven't finished the Calendar UI yet :-). Stay tuned!". We have "stayed tuned" for almost 2 years. Then you come back and say that this isn't an enhancement or a bug but a totally new app.... which is fine, but I wish you guys would have been straight up about that 2 years ago vs posting wishy washy comments that made it seem like you guys were actively working on something.

[spetz83]

In fact... the readme on this repository still states:

"Have an idea for a package or a feature you'd love to see in Nylas Mail? Search for existing GitHub issues and join the conversation!"

So... here we are, joining the conversation.

[grinich]

Sure, I can reopen the issue if you want. Just trying to make it clear why "add an entire calendar app" is not a quick project and not our primary focus right now.
