In a digital world where personal data circulates too easily, protecting privacy is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. At TuCalendi, we have long been listening to our European users, many of whom are looking for alternatives to Google calendars, Outlook or iCloud. Today we are taking an important step in that direction: we have integrated TuCalendi with Mailbox.org using the CalDAV protocol.
This integration is more than just a simple functionality. It is a statement of principle: appointment management can and should be compatible with privacy.
Why Privacy Matters (especially in Europe)
Concerns about the use of personal data have grown throughout Europe, and rightly so. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) require companies to treat data responsibly, transparently and securely.
Professionals in sectors such as healthcare, education, law and consulting need to assure their customers that their data is protected. And many of them do not want to rely on large U.S. platforms that store information on servers outside the EU.
That's why more and more users are looking for private, secure, European alternatives. And this is where Mailbox.org, CalDAV... and TuCalendi come into play.
What is CalDAV and why is it important?
CalDAV is a standard protocol that allows remote synchronization of calendars. Simply put, it is a secure, open and commercially untethered way to manage your calendar from different platforms or services.
Unlike other proprietary methods, CalDAV is not dependent on a specific company. It is ideal for those who prioritize interoperability, technological freedom and data protection.
Thanks to CalDAV, TuCalendi users can now synchronize their appointments directly with their Mailbox.org account, keeping everything up to date without sacrificing privacy.
What is Mailbox.org?
Mailbox.org is a German email and cloud service provider focused on privacy. Unlike other more well-known platforms, its focus is clearly on protecting user data. Everything is hosted on servers located in Germany, in strict compliance with the GDPR.
But Mailbox.org not only offers secure email, it also includes a complete calendar system that works with CalDAV. It is the preferred choice of thousands of users who want independence from large technology providers without sacrificing functionality.
What does this integration bring to TuCalendi users?
With this new integration, you can:
- Connect your Mailbox.org account with TuCalendi seamlessly.
- Automatically synchronize your events between the two systems.
- Manage your appointments with all the features of TuCalendi, knowing that your main calendar is private and secure.
- Avoid using Google, Microsoft or Apple calendars, if you prefer.
This integration is designed especially for privacy-conscious users who want to maintain full control over their digital calendar.
What if I use another calendar with CalDAV?
Although CalDAV is a standard and open protocol, its implementation may vary depending on the calendar provider. Each platform (such as Mailbox.org, Fastmail, Nextcloud, etc.) may configure technical aspects differently, which affects how external applications can synchronize.
The current integration in TuCalendi is specifically designed for Mailbox.org, tailored to its infrastructure and authentication method. For this reason, it does not guarantee compatibility with other CalDAV services.
Our team chose Mailbox.org as the first CalDAV provider for several reasons:
- It was one of the most frequent suggestions from our European users.
- It is a mature, robust service with an excellent focus on privacy.
- Its technical implementation facilitates a stable and secure connection with TuCalendi.
We are open to study new integrations with other CalDAV providers if there is sufficient interest from our users.
How to activate the integration with Mailbox.org in TuCalendi?
The process is very simple:
- Log in to your TuCalendi account.
- Go to the "Integrations" section.
- Select "CalDAV Calendar".
- Choose Mailbox.org as your provider. Enter your Mailbox.org credentials and the CalDAV URL provided by the service.
- You're done! Your private calendar is now integrated with TuCalendi, all you have to do is synchronize the events.
