Using your Bravenet calendar with Calendar Programs

You can use your Bravenet Calendar within the Bravenet Webmail offering or third party calendar programs which support a feature called CalDav.

Calendar

You can access your calendar through our webmail system at https://webmail.bravehost.com or also available through the Email tab with the Bravenet Console. When prompted, just enter your e-mail address and the password associated with that address. If you forget your e-mail password, you can reset it in the e-mail tab of your Bravenet account.

You can also view your calendar through any program that supports CalDav. The calendar CalDav feature is not a feature requested very often and is not enabled by default in each email account. If you want to enable CalDav access to your Bravenet Calendar simply contact our friendly Support Staff and they can enable that feature for you.

General Setup

The exact steps to set up your calendar client differ based on the client.

In general you will need the following:

1. Device connected to the internet with Calendar software / app installed
2. Active Email Account (Example@Domain.com) at Bravenet and the Email password associated with that email account (YourEmailPassword)
3. You will need to contact the Bravenet Support Staff to enable CalDav on your email account as this is not an often used feature. Please open a support ticket and provide a list of email accounts you would like CalDav enabled for.
4. You can verify the password of each account you want to configure at https://webmail.bravehost.com . If you are unable to login with webmail you will not be able to setup a Calendar.
