To get the contacts and calendars of your SwissCenter email address on your iPhone, add the contacts with the CardDAV protocol and the calendar with the CalDAV protocol. These settings sync directly with the native Contacts and Calendar apps on the iPhone.
In short: in the iPhone Settings, add a CardDAV account (Contacts) and a CalDAV account (Calendar) with the server mail01.swisscenter.com, your full email address and the mailbox password; the WebDAV (calendars and contacts) service must be enabled.
Prerequisites
How do I sync the contacts (CardDAV)?
- On your iPhone, open Settings > Apps > Contacts > Accounts. On an older version of iOS, the path is Settings > Contacts > Accounts.
- Select Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
- In the Server field, enter:
mail01.swisscenter.com
- Enter your full email address as the username.
- Enter the mailbox password.
- Tap Next to validate.
Your SwissCenter contacts then appear in the Contacts app on the iPhone.
How do I sync the calendar (CalDAV)?
- Open Settings > Apps > Calendar > Accounts. On an older version of iOS, the path is Settings > Calendar > Accounts.
- Select Add Account > Other > Add CalDAV Account.
- In the Server field, enter:
mail01.swisscenter.com
- Enter your full email address as the username.
- Enter the mailbox password.
- Tap Next to validate.
Your SwissCenter calendar then appears in the Calendar app on the iPhone.
Troubleshooting
If synchronization does not work, check that:
- your Internet connection is stable;
- your credentials are correct: the full email address and the mailbox password;
- the WebDAV (calendars and contacts) service is enabled in the address's Services tab.
