Revision as of 15:31, 20 February 2024 by Wikiadmin (talk | contribs)

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.
