Connect Windows 8 metro apps to OpenXChange Groupware Server

I wanted to connect my Windows 8 calendar, mail and contacts app to my companys OpenXChange-Server.
How i fixed it:
Like described in: http://software.open-xchange.com/OX6/doc/BusinessMobilityOXtender/OX6-OXtender-for-Business-Mobility-English.pdfi found out, that it works like this for Windows 8 as well!
Windows Phone 7 includes a pre-installed Exchange ActiveSync client, with which you can synchronize your emails, contacts and appointments between your mobile phone and the Groupware Server.
Note: This guide refers to a non-modified version of Windows Phone 7. The icons and names on your mobile phone may be different from this guide. In this case, refer to your mobile phone documentation or ask your cell phone provider.
How to configure your Windows Phone 7 mobile phone:
1. In the main menu, select the right arrow icon or scroll to the left to access the application list.
2. Select Settings. Choose email & accounts.
3. Select add an account. Select the Outlook account type.
4. Enter the E-Mail address you use for the Groupware Server. Enter the password you use for the Groupware Server. Note: The entries are case-sensitive. Select sign in. 5. Enter your access data (username and domain) for the Groupware Server. If your username contains the @ character, enter the characters preceding @ in the Username field, the characters following @ in the Domain field. Example: For the username mike@ox.io enter mike as user and ox.io as domain. If your username does not contain the @ character, enter the username in the Username field and defaultcontext in the Domain field. Select Sign in.
6. A notification message is shown. Select Advanced. On the next page select show all settings.
7. Enter the server name (hostname, FQDN) of the Groupware Server in the Server field. If your server uses encryption, enable Server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection.
8. Check the settings. Select sign in. Result: Your mobile phone is configured to use the Grouwpare Server. The initial synchronization automatically starts immediately. Depending on the data volume and the network connection, the first synchronization might take a while.
