Server settings

Update password

Update the password stored by CalDAV-Sync (you need it when you change the password on the server).

Select calendars to sync

Use this setting if you want to change the selected calendars or you created new calendars on the server that you want to sync.

Advanced options

Use preemptive authentication

Enables preemptive authentication. Preemptive authentication causes the app to send BASIC authentication headers with every request. If your server accepts BASIC authenitcation this will reduce the number of round-trips and sync much faster (especially on SSL). Some servers did not like this during my tests, so I didn't enable it by default. Please note, this will send you password unencrypted over the wire (if you don't use SSL), even if your server does not accept BASIC authentication. With SSL this option should be safe to use.

Fake user-agent

This option changes the user-agent this app uses. If you were able to setup the account without this option, then you don't need it.

Sync direction

One-Way-Sync

This option disables Two-Way-Sync. Only server modifications are considered during sync, modifications on the phone don't get synced to the server.

Sync interval

Periodic auto sync

This enables an automatic sync on a regular base.

Sync interval

Sets the time between two automatic syncs.

Enable long term sync

Enables long term sync. In contrast to a regular sync long term sync allow to sync larger time ranges. To prevent unnecessary traffic this will be done on larger intervals.

Long term sync interval

Sets the time between two automatic long term syncs.

Date service settings

These options allow to specify on which connection types the app may sync. The app checks the connection type on each sync and won't sync if the current connection is not enabled here.
