  <title>Using a CalDAV calendar</title>

  <p>To add such a calendar to <app>Evolution</app>, perform the following steps:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Click
      <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>New</gui><gui>Calendar</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the type <gui>CalDAV</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>To discover the calendars, announced by the server, enter the server address as <gui>URL</gui> and optionally <gui>User</gui>, then click on <gui style="button">Find Calendars</gui>. Select a calendar and <gui>User mail</gui>.
         This prefills the fields <gui>Name</gui>, <gui>Color</gui>, <gui>URL</gui> and (see below) <gui>Email</gui>. The step is optional, and you can overwrite all the discovered settings.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Enter a name that you prefer.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Optionally choose a color that you prefer.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Enter the address in the <gui>URL</gui> field.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose <gui>Use a secure connection</gui> if you want to connect
      securely.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Enter your username and email address. When a meeting is created in the calendar, this email address is prefilled as Organizer.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>When a meeting is created, modified or deleted, a notification can be sent to the other parties of the meeting.
      If <gui>Server handles meeting invitations</gui> is selected, <app>Evolution</app> uploads the meeting and assumes
      that the server informs other parties. When the option is not selected, <app>Evolution</app> sends an email.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui style="button">OK</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>The calendar will be added to the list of calendars in <app>Evolution</app>.</p>
