Hi everyone,
I run a MacBook Pro on latest Snow Leopard, DavMail, Thunderbird with Lightning.

The problem is that I can't get access to all the calendars that other people share with me on Exchange Server 2003. 2/15 shared calendars work. I added the working shared calendars just like the not working ones and the people who shared their calendars shared them all the same way.
Here is an excerpt from the log file that might be helpful (e-mail addresses omitted). If you need more information, please let me know!

Cheers,
Jonathan

440 means access denied on Exchange => can you try to access those calendars through OWA in a web browser ?

Hi mcguessan,

I can't see a view in OWA on a web browser for shared calendars. I can see the calendars in a 2007 Outlook on Win XP though ...
Do you think the OWA doesn't access the shared calendars right then? Because if the OWA doesn't have access DavMail wouldn't.
I don't see how I can access the shared calendar from OWA. I tried the URL "https://<server name>/owa/<user email>/?cmd=contents&f=Calendar&view=Daily" and "https://<server name>/owa/<user email>/?cmd=contents&module=calendar" and it asks me for permission (user / password). When I type those in, I get a 404 Error (Page not found)

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jonathan

Sorry, I thought you were on Exchange 2003
On Exchange 2007 calendars are not directly available.

=> Check authorizations on shared calendars to detect the difference between working/not working calendars

Hi mcguesson,
sorry if I've been unclear. I have an Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2007 in which sharing calendars work without Problems. OWA doesn't show any calendars and TB Lightning shows 2/13 shared calendars (all calendars are shared the same way).

On Exchange 2003, you can check calendar access in a web browser at:
https://exchangeserver/exchange/user@company.com/calendar

The link (https://exchangeserver/exchange/user@company.com/calendar) directs me to the standard OWA-login, which works out fine but then redirects me to a 404-page (file or directory not found)

I haven't been successful trying to access shared calendars via OWA at all, I'm doubting it's possible on Exchange 2003. I know Exchange 2003 supports shared calendars though .. it's a total mistery to me why 2/13 would work ..

Forgot to mention that you must replace /calendar with real localized name, e.g. /Calendrier on a french server

Hi,
I tried following schemes with no avail:

/calendar
/Calendar
/kalender
/Kalender

(I'm German)

Well, you can at least access your own calendar ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jonathan - 2012-05-02

Yes, I can access my own e-mail by logging in the "normal" way. (https://exchange-server/exchange)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Mickael Guessant - 2012-05-02

I mean, can you access your calendar at
https://exchangeserver/exchange/user@company.com/kalender

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jonathan - 2012-05-03

No I can't.

I found that the correct url - for my own calendar - would be

"https://server/exchange/user@company.com/ownCalendarName?Cmd=contents" (Cmd post is optional)

ownCalendarName is the name of my calendar, which I changed in outlook. maybe that's why all the other shared calendars don't work, because they all changed the default name of the calendars to something else and davmail only supports the default name? But why could Lightning access my own calendar then?

What I also don't understand is why Lightning can fetch my own calendar data. The url for the calendar is "http://localhost:1080/users/user123@company.com/calendar" but when I try to access that with Firefox I get "/exchange/user123//calendar not found" (double slashes intended) Can you explain that to me?

I hope this helps. Sorry for taking up your time

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Mickael Guessant - 2012-05-03

Ok, that's a clue: Lightning is able to access your own calendar because the default calendar name is available in mailbox properties.

However, those properties are not available for shared calendars => you need to get actual calendar path from user.

Jonathan - 2012-05-04

Hi!
That was the problem! Different people having different calendar names. Some people e.g. have Outlook in English which means their calendar name is in English ... Some people rename their calendars, etc.
Maybe a feature request could be that DavMail grabs all existing calendars and stores them in standard IDs (e.g. cal1, cal2, etc) and the user specific display name (e.g. Calendar-Work, Calendar-Private, etc.) That way Lightning could access the calendars with the standard IDs and the problem I had would be eliminated.

I wonder if there is a bug report for this (even though IMHO this isn't really a bug)
Thanks so much for your help! You can close this thread then! (:

Well, the simplest way is to just use real calendar name... not sure I could do something better at DavMail level
