Can I Checkout Computer Equipment on Campus?

How can I synchronize my WesMail calendar with Outlook (or vice-versa)?

This document describes how to set up WesMail to synchronize calendars, contacts, and more with Outlook. At this time, Outlook is the only sync client we support, although we may be able to support other clients in the future.

First, download the "Outlook Sync" program from https://www.forge.funambol.org/download/. (You'll be asked to enter your contact information, but you can skip that step.) Once you've downloaded that to your desktop, close Outlook, and then run the installer to install the sync program.

Open Outlook again, and there will be a new menu in the menu bar: the "Funambol" menu will appear between "Actions" and "Help". ("Funambol" is the slightly strange name of the sync program.) Pull down the "Funambol" menu and select "Options".

Click the "Account" icon on the left of the Options window. For "Location," enter https://webmail.nebrwesleyan.edu/horde/rpc.php Enter your username and password as well:

Click the "Sync" icon on the left. Ensure that all of the boxes under "Items" (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes) are checked. Check the box labeled "Synchronize every" and choose a reasonable time span. (The default, 15 minutes, will probably work for most people.)

Click "OK" to close the Options window.

You should now have a window with a big "Sync All" button. Click it!

You may be asked if you want to continue with a full sync; click "Yes."

It may take a while -- especially if you have a lot of calendar events -- but eventually, you should have a nice column of check marks denoting that the sync has succeeded:

Congratulations! You've just synchronized your WesMail address book and calendar with Outlook, and they'll stay synchronized, too. Contacts and events you add in one will show up in the other, and things deleted in one will disappear from the other.

If you have any problems with this setup process, or with ongoing synchronization, please submit a ticket.
