One of the features I need from Outlook 2010 is to connect to our CalDAV/CardDAV server, however this feature is lacking. Fortunately there is an open source plugin to add this feature. This is a simple guide on installing Outlook CalDAV Synchronizer on Outlook 2010 running Windows 7.

• Download and install the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime

• Download and install the Outlook CalDAV Synchronizer plugin.

• Next open Outlook, and click on the CalDAV Synchronizer tab

• Click on Synchronization Profiles, then click the Add button

• Select Generic CalDAV/CardDAV Server and click OK
  1. Name: Example DAV
  2. Outlook folder: Outlook Data File\Calendar
  3. DAV Url: dav.example.com/remote.php/caldav/calendars/user%40example.com/defaultcalendar
  4. Username: user
  5. Password: SuperSecretPassword
  6. Email address: user@example.com

• Click Test Settings to make sure everything works.

• Click OK to save the profile.

NOTE: I needed to uncheck the [ ] Use time range filter in the account profile in order to synchronize the full calendars.
