How to Configure Thunderbird to receive Emails and Calendar data from Oracle Beehive Server


Oracle Beehive is the next generation of Oracle’s enterprise collaboration technologies.It provides a unified collaboration application and platform comprised of a comprehensive set of integrated Java-based services, offering a new paradigm for enterprise collaboration solutions.

Oracle Beehive unifies common yet typically disjointed collaborative services, such as e-mail, time management, instant messaging, and content management, among others, and delivers them through standard protocol clients, integrated Web services, and familiar desktop tools such as Microsoft Outlook. This unified offering enables teams, individuals, and organizations to more easily collaborate, generate new information, make timely decisions, and, ultimately, take action.


Users can access Oracle Beehive with standard protocol clients based on Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV (CalDAV), to name a few. Oracle Beehive supports many proprietary and open source clients including Apple Mail, Microsoft Windows WebFolders, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Pidgin, among others.

Using Thunderbird we can connect to Beehive and send/Receive mails,Calendar information,tasks,Addressbook (contacts).

Using Thunderbird we can Send/Receive Emails, but for Calendar data and Addressbook we need to Install 2 Add-ons

1) Oracle Beehive Extensions for Thundrbird (OBET) ---> 
Addressbook CardDav,
