Windows Calendar & Outlook

Sync SilentSuite with Windows Calendar, Windows Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook through the SilentSuite Bridge.

Prerequisites

  1. The SilentSuite Bridge running on your PC.
  2. Your SilentSuite credentials from the bridge's web UI at http://localhost:37358/.web/.

Windows Calendar & Mail App

  1. Open Calendar (or Mail).
  2. Go to Settings (gear icon) > Manage Accounts > Add account.
  3. Select iCloud (this is a workaround -- Windows doesn't have a generic CalDAV option).
  4. Enter:
    • Email: your SilentSuite email
    • Password: your SilentSuite password
  5. Windows will fail to connect to iCloud. When it shows the manual configuration:
    • Calendar server (CalDAV): http://localhost:37358/
    • Contacts server (CardDAV): http://localhost:37358/
  6. Click Sign In.

TIP

The Windows DAV client has known limitations. For detailed steps and workarounds specific to your Windows version, see the SilentSuite Bridge guide.

Microsoft Outlook

Outlook's built-in CalDAV support is limited. For best results, use a connector:

  1. Install a CalDAV plugin for Outlook (e.g., Outlook CalDav Synchronizer -- free, open source).
  2. Configure it with:
    • CalDAV URL: http://localhost:37358/
    • CardDAV URL: http://localhost:37358/
    • Username: your SilentSuite email
    • Password: your SilentSuite password

Alternative: em Client

em Client is a Windows email/calendar app with excellent CalDAV/CardDAV support:

  1. Install em Client.
  2. Add a CalDAV account with server http://localhost:37358/.
  3. Enter your SilentSuite credentials.

Running the Bridge at Startup

To run the SilentSuite Bridge automatically on Windows startup, see the DAV bridge guide for Windows service configuration.

Troubleshooting

Windows Calendar won't connect

Windows 10/11 has bugs with local CalDAV connections. Try:
