General CALDAV Issues

Lightning & Thunderbird

Lightning does not support Caldav + Free/Busy

Free/Busy support is only available for the Sun Cal Server.

Maybe we could "fake" this out within our Ldap configuration. Like RFE for Apple OD:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26619

Address/username lookup doesn't occur within a new appointment

Apple/Mac Issues

iCal Issues

Not seeing Calendar's

DO NOT USE SPACES

Entourage Use for Calendars - Leopard/10.5 users

Because of some core issues with Apple's SyncServices, we recommend that Entourage users use iCALv3 (Mac 10.5) configured for CALDAV. Please use the Zimbra Connector instructions to setup iCal for CALDAV. This recommedation also stems from the fact that Microsoft decided to use WebDAV rather than CALDAV for Entourage. If MS decides later to include CALDAV support for Entourage, we'll have another option.

Please see bug for details:

Calendar events are displaying the wrong time

Apple expects the year of 1971 for the DTSTART variable within an ICS file. There is no standard that dictates this.

Zimbra (prior to version 5.0.5) was using 1601, this is in /opt/zimbra/conf/timezones.ics .

Please see bug for more details (resolved 5.0.5):

Attendee Lookups for iCALv3/MacOS10.5

iCal3 [webdav] needs to use the Apple Directory Access utility for attendees (It's on 10.5). It will only work against Apple OD/CAL servers.

RFE filed to include necessary LDAP attributes to provide ical oattendee lookups

See bug [scheduled for 5.0.7]:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26619

Attendee Lookup for iCal/Mac 10.4

iCal.app on Mac 10.4 only uses local entries in Apples Addressbook for address/username lookup for new appointments.

Addressbook+LDAP configuration requires a copy of an "all/*" search in ldap into the local addressbook. Sync doesn't seem to work.

Please see this bug comment and the 10.4 section for more details:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26619#c3

Free/Busy Lookup not working as expected

The Free/Busy lookup requires auto-attendee lookup to be working, this requires bug 26619 to be resolved.

iCal calendar color changing modifies calendar name and/or doesn't retain color

Fixed in 5.0.5 . See bugs for details:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26627

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26625

New Calendars don't sync unless you select "all". Mac 10.4/Z-isync

Please see bug for details:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26653

Directory Access configuration on Macs

File that configures [system wide] for Address Book resolution

/Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DSLDAPv3PlugInConfig.plist

Mac clients cause spamming of invitation events when they adjust calendar events

This, at it's root, is caused by other bugs listed here. Usually this will get resolved with the proper upgrades that the bugs require (ZCS 5.0.5+)

There is a RFE/Bug though that will also resolve this, by allowing the "action" of an appointment to be set.

Please see bug for details [scheduled for 5.0.7]:

http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10536

Calendar Invites can't be imported into iCal

If you look at the ics file, you might see an extra return character at the end.

You'll see this if an Outlook client send an invite to a user using a Mac with a thick client [Mail.app/Entourage].

This was resolved in the 5.0.5 release. Please see bug for more details:
