Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1630

Does Radicale front-end on Modoboa allow you to actually control your Radicale instance by adding/changing Contacts/Calenders, etc ? If yes, then where exactly do you control it since I only see 2 paths you set on radicale tab in Modoboa?
Does Radicale have to be installed separately so that it can work on Modoboa?
Can you have Radicale installed on a completely separate domain and still control it via Modoboa?

It would be great to know all this, since i do not see any of this information being clear in the documentation.
Sorry if this is a noob question.

@inas3 If you install Modoboa using the installer then Radicale will be installed too. To create calendars and contacts, you need a user with a mailbox (a simple user). The default administrator (admin) has no mailbox so you won't see anything.
What do you mean by completely separate domain?

@tonioo i see. ok.
So for Q3. i meant when you add more domains to Modoboa like different email domains such as email1@domain1.com and email1@domain2.com
I take it Radicale then is also able to separate these since the users will be different?

Also, if you don't want to enable Radicale on Modoboa, what do you do? just simply not configure Radicale settings?

Yes Radicale will work with different domains and users
To disable it, just set enabled = false in the radicale section of the installer configuration file.c Or once installed, comment out the modoboa_radicale line (look for MODOBOA_APPS) in /srv/modoboa/instance/instance/settings.py.
