How do I set up synchronisation of calendar entries with an Apple Mac OS X calendar?

  • Open your Mac calendar.
  • Click in the menu at the top left on “Calendar” and then “Settings”.
  • Click the “Accounts” tab, and then at the bottom left on the plus symbol.
  • Choose account type: “CalDAV”.
  • Change the account type setting from “Automatic” to “Manual”.
  • Enter your Posteo email address as the user name (lower case) and your Posteo password as the password.
  • The server address is “posteo.de”.
  • Next, click “Set” and close the settings section.
  • The first synchronisation can take a few seconds, please have patience.

Instructions for old versions of OS X

Visual instructions for Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks

  • Go to "System Preferences" > "Internet Accounts" and select "Add Other Account"
  • Choose "Add a CalDAV account"
  • Select "Manual". Enter your "User Name", "Password" and the "Server Address".
  • Finished. You can choose whether you would like to use reminders (not available in webmail).

Visual instructions for Mac OS 10.6

  • From the menu, click "iCal" > "Preferences". Click "Accounts" then the plus (+) symbol (at the bottom left).
  • For "Account type" choose "CalDAV". Enter your user name and password. The server address is "posteo.de". Click "Create".
  • Next, set how often the calendar should be synchronised.
  • If you would like, you can also choose under "General" whether birthdays should be shown in the calendar, (assuming you have already entered the birthdays of your contacts).
  • The calendar entries from your Posteo calendar will now be synchronised (you may need to restart iCal).


Our tests have determined that calendar synchronisation with Mac versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) work properly.
