 summary of situation
With the 5.0.6+ connectors on MacOS 10.5+, it will only allow you the option to use CalDAV and the Entourage integration will be lost. The Entourage integration worked via iSync rather than CalDAV. It would create a local calendar called Entourage within iCal and then the iSync service (via Zimbra Connector) would post updates to the users Zimbra calendar called Calendar (the default). I believe it would also check the boxes in Entourage under Preferences > Sync Services > Synchronize events and tasks with iCal and .Mac
Summary
1. MacOS 10.4 still has the iSync/Entourage integration. 10.4 can't use CalDAV, only iSync
2. Pre 5.0.6 Zimbra connectors allowed you to select iSync rather than CalDav on MacOS 10.5 . iSync has been deemed unreliable and buggy by our developers and they now favor CalDAV.
3. 5.0.6+ Zimbra connectors on MacOS 10.5 will only be able to use CalDAV and iCal for calendaring features. There is no integration with Entourage. You can't even drag/drop items to/from Entourage and iCal. Entourage doesn't support CalDAV, only WebDAV.
I believe this is an accurate summary of the situation at this point. FYI - I only have Entourage 2004 available to me to look for features/options in Entourage for a work around.  |
