Probably your company has blocked our service and you need to send it via another email service.

Follow these steps:

1. Change address to send email to in mailCalendar client
   On your computer, where mailCalendar is installed, go to the following folder:
   C:\Users\{your user name}\mailCalendar
   and execute mailCalendar-setup.
2. When asked to uninstall mailCalendar answer with “no”.
3. When asked to reset mailCalendar answer with “yes”.
4. Now mailCalendar needs to be configured again.
   In the last step of the configuration you are asked to enter an alternative email address. Default is “gh7cj6ykf8brrwl5d@xtc4nrg.com”.
   Change it to your private email address.
5. On your private email account setup a forwarding of these emails to the email address “gh7cj6ykf8brrwl5d@xtc4nrg.com”.

How to forward emails?
It would be too much to explain how to do this for every email provider. But here are some links:

Gmail and Yahoo: Not possible as it will first send a verification email with a link that you will need to click on.
Outlook.com: https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Use-inbox-rules-in-Outlook-com-4b094371-a5d7-49bd-8b1b-4e4896a7cc5d

The easiest way is probably to create an extra account on Outlook.com, it is free.

Maybe your user name, password or passkey is wrong and therefore the data sent from the mailCalendar client can’t be stored on the server.

Follow these steps:

1. Login to your account.
2. Check if there is an error message and what it says. It will clearly say when the last email was received and if it failed to receive an email why it failed.
3. Depending on the error you will need to set a new passkey, just to be sure.
4. Unlock your account, if it is locked.
5. On your computer, where mailCalendar is installed, go to the following folder:
   C:\Users\{your user name}\mailCalendar
   and execute mailCalendar-setup.
6. When asked to uninstall mailCalendar answer with “no”.
7. When asked to reset mailCalendar answer with “yes”.
8. Now mailCalendar needs to be configured again.
9. Enter all the details that you just reset and if they are correct your calendar will update within 10 minutes, meaning you should see the “Last successful” time change on your account page.

If there data on this website is updated then your phone/device should update as well.
Let’s check the chain and see if we get it working again.

Follow these steps:

1. Login to your account.
2. Check the “Last successful” time and if this is reasonably new then the data here is up to date.

The following instructions vary, depending on your phone/device.
On your phone/device do the following:

1. Go to settings
2. Go to calendar/account settings
3. Select the subscribed calendar that is called “External”.
4. Enter the user name and password.
5. Press “Done”
6. Now the phone will verify that the provided data is correct and download the latest calendar.
7. Go to your calendar and double check

 

Currently Google doesn’t support accessing WebDav/ICS calendars, such as mailCalendar that are password protected.

Therefore we recommend you are using an app that allows you to do just that.
Some users have reported back to us that they are using an app called ICSx and that it works well for them.
We are not affiliated or related to this app in any way and can therefore not take any responsibility for the usage of it.
