📄️ Overview
A collaboration server goes beyond traditional email functionality by providing tools and protocols that support shared access to calendars, contacts, documents, and other data across users and devices. These features are essential in modern organizations where teamwork, scheduling, and shared information are central to productivity. Stalwart is designed with these capabilities in mind, functioning not just as a mail server but as a full-featured, standards-based collaboration platform.
📄️ WebDAV
WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an extension of the HTTP protocol that allows clients to remotely manage content on a server. It supports operations such as creating, editing, and deleting files, as well as accessing and synchronizing calendars and contacts. WebDAV is widely used in collaborative environments for file sharing, calendar coordination, and contact management, making it a key component of Stalwart.
📄️ Calendar
Stalwart includes full support for calendar management and scheduling through the CalDAV protocol, enabling users to create, access, and synchronize calendar data across devices and applications.
📄️ Scheduling
Calendar Scheduling allows users to efficiently coordinate meetings and events by automating the process of sending, receiving, and responding to invitations. Rather than relying on manual email exchanges, calendar scheduling systems streamline communication between organizers and attendees, track participation status, and manage updates and cancellations in real time.
📄️ Notifications
Calendar email notifications in Stalwart allow users to receive alerts for upcoming events directly in their email inbox. These notifications are triggered by alarms defined within calendar entries using the iCalendar standard.
📄️ Contacts
Stalwart includes built-in support for contact management and synchronization through the CardDAV protocol, enabling users to store, access, and maintain address book data across devices and applications.
📄️ File Storage
Stalwart includes support for file storage and remote file management through the WebDAV protocol, allowing users to store, organize, and access files directly from their account.
📄️ Sharing
Stalwart includes support for resource sharing, allowing users and groups to collaborate efficiently through shared access to calendars, address books, and file storage. Whether for team scheduling, centralized contact management, or document collaboration, sharing is a core feature designed to support both individual and organizational workflows.
