Calendar list, birthdays and holidays

The Kalender (Calendars) group in the navigation lists all calendars whose appointments are shown: your own, those shared with the mailbox, and the Geburtstage (Birthdays) and Feiertage (Holidays) calendars. This article explains the list, showing and hiding calendars, birthdays, holidays, the category filter, and who may see and change what.

• One entry per calendar with a colored square and its name. If a name is missing, „Kalender“ (Calendar) is shown.
• Your own calendars and calendars that other people have shared with the mailbox appear together in this group; the calendar has no separate „Mit mir geteilt“ (Shared with me) group.
• The color comes from the mail server; if it is missing, the calendar assigns a color from a fixed sequence. The color cannot be changed in the app.
• Geburtstage (Birthdays, pink) and Feiertage (Holidays, green) always appear at the end. Both are read-only.

1. In the Kalender (Calendars) group, click an entry (tooltip: Ausblenden: [Name], Hide: [Name]).
2. The calendar is hidden: empty square, gray name. Its appointments disappear from the grid, the mini month and the search.
3. Click again (Einblenden: [Name], Show: [Name]) to show it again.

• Default: all calendars shown.
• The browser remembers the selection; it does not apply on another device.
• Geburtstage (Birthdays) and Feiertage (Holidays) can be hidden the same way.

• The source is the birth dates of the contacts in the address books (not the company directory).
• Every birthday appears each year as an all-day appointment. If a birth year is stored on the contact, the age follows, for example „Jim T. Kirchner (51)“.
• People born on February 29 appear on February 28 in years without a leap day.
• The detail window shows „[Name] wird [n].“ ([Name] turns [n].) or „Geburtstag von [Name]“ (Birthday of [Name]). A birthday can only be edited on the contact, see Contacts – overview and search.
• If a contact is saved or deleted in the app, the list is updated immediately. Changes made in other ways appear within a few hours at the latest.
• Birthdays may appear a moment after the other appointments.

1. In the navigation below the calendar list, click Feiertage: … (Holidays, gear icon).
2. In the Feiertage (Holidays) menu (country and state), choose an entry.
3. The button then shows the selection, for example „Feiertage: Bayern“ (Holidays: Bavaria) or „Feiertage: Österreich“ (Holidays: Austria).

• Selection: Deutschland, bundesweit (Germany, nationwide, default), Deutschland, Baden-Württemberg to Deutschland, Thüringen (all 16 states) and Österreich (Austria). The list in the menu can be scrolled.
• The browser remembers the selection.

The Kategorien (Categories) group only appears if categories have been created in the mailbox.

1. In the Kategorien (Categories) group, click a category (tooltip: Nur „[Name]“, Only "[Name]").
2. The calendar now shows only appointments with this category; birthdays and holidays are hidden. The selected category is highlighted.
3. Click the same category again to remove the filter.

• The filter also applies to the mini month and the search.
• The browser remembers the filter. If the category is deleted later, it no longer filters.
• Categories are managed under Einstellungen (Settings) › Kategorien (Categories) and apply to messages, appointments, tasks and notes, see Categories. You assign them to an appointment in the appointment window or by right-clicking › Kategorie … (Category).

• No mailbox linked: instead of the calendar, the Kein Postfach verknüpft (No mailbox linked) screen appears.
• Read-only calendar (shared calendar without write permission): appointments are visible, the right-click menu only offers Öffnen (Open), and the detail window has no buttons. The calendar does not appear in the Kalender (Calendar) selection of the appointment window.
• Appointment without change permission (the mail server does not allow changes to that individual appointment): no Bearbeiten (Edit) and Löschen (Delete) buttons, cannot be moved.
• Geburtstage (Birthdays) and Feiertage (Holidays): always read-only.
• If a permission is missing for an action, the reason shown is „Dieses Postfach ist für dieses Konto nicht freigegeben.“ (This mailbox is not shared with this account.)
