Introduction

With Zimbra Collaboration Server, you are able to access all your Zimbra Calendars using iCal or Calendar in the different OS X versions.

This guide shows you how to access to your Zimbra Calendar using OS X and iCal or Calendar.

Before You Begin

This guide assumes that you have already are running OS X and you have the iCal or Calendar applications installed.

To access your email, you must have the following information:

  • Your Zimbra email address and password.
  • Zimbra mail server FQDN. This is usually in the form of mail.domain.com.

Your system administrator will be able to give you this information if you do not already have it.

Viewing your Zimbra Calendar using iCal or Calendar

The following steps show you how to read and write in your Zimbra Calendar using iCal or Calendar in OS X.

To view your Zimbra Calendar using iCal or Calendar and CalDAV

The recommended way, using Zimbra Collaboration Open Source version, to connect your Zimbra Calendar and iCal is using CalDAV. You will be able to do all the typical actions in a Calendar, and you will synchronize with your Zimbra Server, as follows:

  • Create appointments
  • Edit appointments created from the Web Client or another device
  • Delete appointments
  • Move appointments
  • Dismiss appointments
  • etc.

Zimbra Calendar and requirements

Since Zimbra Collaboration 6, you don't need any additional step or configuration in your server. You need to know the Calendar name that you want to use in the CalDAV client. The final URL to use in the CalDAV client would be:

https://zimbra.example.com/dav/<USERNAME>/CalendarNAME

You can also add your credentials into the URL. Note that this includes your password, which may not be recommended.

https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@zimbrahost.example.com/dav/<USERNAME>/Calendar

For example, here you can see 3 different Calendars in the Zimbra Web Client:

  • 5. If you don't have a valid SSL Certificate, you will need to accept the SSL message warning.
  • 6. After a few seconds you will be able to see all your Zimbra Calendars as well as all your appointments.

Log trace when sync

When the appointments are pulled from the Zimbra Server to the CalDAV client, you will be able to see the next log traces in the /opt/zimbra/logs/mailbox.log. You can see that these came from OS X and iCal or Calendar:
