[SOLVED] Cannot import .csv file for calendar

[Old Cubs Fan]

I just learned about, downloaded and installed Zimbra Desktop today. Everything working OK so far, except I cannot import a .csv file (Cubs game schedule, of course) to my calendar. I had no trouble importing a .csv file of my contacts, but the calendar attempt gives me the following error message: ZmCsfeException.

I tried to search the forums for this, but found only similar problems and no solutions. Please help--I really don't want to go back to Outlook!

Decided to try downloading the file in the .ics format, and it seems to have imported it just fine.

I've been researching this very question and can't seem to find anything. It appears you have the answer to the mystery of exporting .ics from Outlook 2003.

How did you do this?

Thanks in advance,

I was able to do this with Sunbird.

It is necessary during a transition from Office Live to Zimbra. The Windows Live Connector allows you a 'IMAPI' connection to the user account through Outlook but there is never a .pst file on the file system. The .pst importer will not work in this situation.

1) Install Sunbird
2) Make a temp calendar
3) Import .csv calendar data to temp
4) Export temp calendar to .ics file
5) Import .ics file into Zimbra account

I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do this but it's all I have for now; It's a little ghetto but it works.

Thanks in advance,
