Atmail Groupware Calendar
Need to share a Calendar with users on the Atmail system? Using the inbuilt Groupware features you can easily share events, tasks and address-book data with users on the system. Help increase your organizations productivity and information sharing using the Atmail groupware features.
Use the Web-based Calendar client in Atmail, or connect your desktop client such as iCal, Thunderbird, or Outlook with a CalDAV plugin.
The Atmail Calendar allows users to create appointments and tasks then share the data with others. Permission level settings are provided, enabling the owner of a calendar to enable or restrict the recipients ability to modify and access the data.
Using the CalDAV protocol Atmail implements an open-protocol Groupware solution – No proprietary system or vendor-lock in for Calendaring data.

Global
A global calendar can be created for your organization which will notify all respective personnel of meetings and important events. Create a shared calendar for sales and support teams, and distribute important events and scheduling data with your organization.
Personal
The Personal Address-book allows users to separate personal contacts from Global and Shared contacts. These contacts can only be viewed by the individual user account.
Shared
The Shared Address-book adds functionality to share contacts with other users (or groups of users). Shared contacts can be assigned read/write permissions which enables the users with whom the contacts are shared to modify the contact entries directly. Optionally, read-only access can be granted to allow the entry to be viewed by selected users, but can only be modified by the original owner.
