Update or Delete appointment through Zimbra REST

[epasqualotto]

Hi all, as the subject I need to delete and update my calendar with REST interface. Is there any way to do this?

Now I can only read and add new to Zimbra.

Thanks

Hello.

Although your trouble is probably away now, i had the same question recently. By looking at the content of the mail sent when deleting an event, i found that adding the line "STATUS:CANCELLED" to the ics content of the event then sending it to Zimbra has the effect of deleting it !

Really nice.

Regards.

Me again !

To update an event, just send it again like a new event but with the modified information (summary, dates, participants).
The only thing to do is to keep the SAME UID which is (according to me) the event reference !

Of course, you will have to send the UID when creating the event or to retrieve it later.

The problem we have is that if you cancel an event and then try to reuse the same UID to recreate or change it, Zimbra doesn't seem to accept it. See Reusing a cancelled calendar event ID for more detail.

Is there a way to get Zimbra to purge the old UIDs or some other way around this?

Update: It appears that if one cancels and then (re)confirms an event the Zimbra web interface doesn't display the event even though it shows that an event exists. ( If you hover the mouse over the calendar on the left side of the screen, the popup shows that an event exists but the event is not listed in the calendar view. Using Sunbird or PC Sync on my Andoid, the re-confirmed event is displayed as I would expect. Should I be reporting a bug?
