Calendar with Gnome


GNOME Evolution is an open-source email client for Linux and is written in the C (GTK) programming language. The official description from its website says, "Evolution is a personal information management application that provides integrated mail, calendaring and address book functionality." We use the test@dynu.biz email account as an example in this tutorial.

After launching the email client and adding your email account, go to Settings, then click on the Online Accounts button and choose Calendar, Contacts and Files.

Once you have the calendar ready, you can click on a date to create a meeting. Be sure to add the event under your Dynu online calendar instead of a local one. Once an event is added, it will show up on the calendar.
