12.3  The process of the synchronization

Kerio Sync Connector is an application which allows bi-directional synchronization of local events, contacts and To Do items (tasks) between Apple iCal and Apple Address Book with an email account in Kerio Connect.

The main benefit of Kerio Sync Connector is that the synchronization for both applications can be set at a single point. Moreover, Apple iCal data is synchronized in both directions for the selected calendar(s) which use the Kerio Connect's data store.

Warning

Kerio Sync Connector does not support synchronization of distribution lists.

If you use Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, it is recommended to use rather synchronization via the built-in CalDAV account in Apple iCal (for details, see section 10.2  CalDAV support) than via Kerio Sync Connector. This can be done by disabling calendar synchronization upon installation of the Kerio Sync Connector and setting a CalDAV account in Apple iCal (for details, read section 10.2.2  Manual configuration). These settings will not affect synchronization of contacts in Apple Address Book.

Note

  • Local contacts are always synchronized along with the default private Contacts folder.

  • Calendars and contacts saved in Kerio Connect as subfolders will not be synchronized.

  • To Do items are synchronized against the Tasks folder. In Apple iCal, items of the Tasks folder will be synchronized with the Calendar folder. If synchronization of the Calendar folder is not allowed, tasks will not appear in the To Do items in Apple iCal.
