zmmailbox commands to subscribe a calendar to an ical feed changed or broken

[mbockol]

Hi Folks,

We've recently upgraded to Zimbra 5.0.4 and I've noticed that following commands I was using to create a new calendar and subscribe it to an ical feed no longer work:

zmmailbox -z -m some_user cf --view appointment --color cyan --flags "#" "/SubscribedCalendar"

zmmailbox -z -m some_user mfu "/SubscribedCalendar" "http://address_to/feed.ics"

The calendar creation works as it had, but when I attempt to add the url to the calendar it fails with:

ERROR: mail.CANNOT_SUBSCRIBE (cannot add subscription to existing folder 92190)

It looks like "importURLIntoFolder" should do something similar and when I try:

zmmailbox -z -m some_user iuif "/SubscribedCalendar" "http://address_to/feed.ics"

it appears to succeed (there's no error message), but doing a:

getFolder "/SubscribedCalendar"

shows the "url:" field still blank.

Any ideas what the appropriate way to do this is now?

I spotted the bug report here

Bug 14840 - mail.CANNOT_SUBSCRIBE when trying to change the URL on a calendar folder

and see that you must assign an initial url with the --url flag when doing the createFolder command.

Thanks,
Matt
