 [wiki:ProxyCleanup Server logs show lots of: "Unable to find any record with GUID XXX" errors after deleting users from the directory.  What's up?]

+== Scheduling over Email (iMIP) ==
+
+Calendar Server can send invitations to "external" users (i.e., those without an account on the server) via email, using the iCalendar Message-Based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2447 ).  If you create an event and add an attendee which has an email address but does not have a local account, the server will generate an email message with a icalendar attachment containing the event details and a request for response.  If the attendee uses an iMIP-compatible client to respond to the invitation, the server will parse the reply and update the organizer's copy of the event accordingly.
+
+What is required to set up iMIP:
+
+  * An SMTP server
+  * An IMAP or POP server
+  * An email account '''dedicated''' to the calendar server -- '''it is important that you not use your own email account for this because the server will delete any messages that appear in this account'''
+
+Steps:
+
+  * Create an IMAP or POP account solely for use by the calendar server
+  * Edit caldavd.plist:
+    * iMIP
+      * Enabled = true
+      * Sending
+        * Server = your SMTP server name
+        * Port = the port your SMTP server is listening on
+        * UseSSL = true/false depending on whether your SMTP server is using SSL
+        * Username = username to log in to SMTP (leave empty if no authentication is required by your SMTP server)
+        * Password = password to log in to SMTP (leave empty if no authentication is required by your SMTP server)
+        * Address = used as the From: address
+      * Receiving
+        * Server = your inbound (IMAP/POP) server name
+        * Port = the port your IMAP/POP server is listening on
+        * Type = either pop or imap
+        * UseSSL = true/false depending on whether your IMAP/POP server is using SSL
+        * Username = username to log in to IMAP/POP '''(do not use your own email account for this or your inbox will be wiped out)'''
+        * Password = password to log in to IMAP/POP
+        * PollingSeconds = how often to poll for incoming replies
+      * AddressPatterns = an array of regular expressions defining which email addresses to send iMIP messages to -- if an external attendee's email address does not match these patterns, no invitation will be sent to them.
+  * Restart calendar server
+
