Outlook 2010 client and free busy?

[Shawn Walker]

Hello Thorsten,

Have you tried using https?  Though you will have to have Windows trust the certificate for Outlook
Free/Busy to use https.  I'm not sure how your Kolab Horde server is configured.  Have you tried
using the browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc) by using the HTTP/HTTPS URL you are attempting to see
if they work?

Replace %NAME% with the user id you are trying to get the Free/Busy from in the browser URL location.

Regards,
Shawn
