I wanted to post the suggestion to kill the evolution-data-server because the fixed the problem I had seeing calendars and contacts. I learned that this was my problem after I ran "/usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-1.12" and found the error that "books" was already running.

Anyway, I'll be putting the connector through its paces later in the week. In the meantime to answer your question, I compiled "evolution-zimbra-0.1.0.tar.gz" from sourceforge for my evolution 2.12.1. I got hints from various postings in the forums. I am running all this on Ubuntu Gutsy on an AMD64. thanks, mark

Did you compile with logging enabled or disabled? If you are still having problems with contacts and calendars and you have logging enabled, can you please cut out the relevant parts from ~/.evolution/log/zimbra.log ?

Emil, I did not enable logging when I compiled. If I have problems, I will certainly recompile and post the results. At this time I am still trying to copy my local evolution calendar into the connector calendar. I am running into problems, but I think that it is because of limitations on the Zimbra side. I won't have time to explore this much more until late in the week.

Let me know if I can help in any other way. I did write down the steps that I took to compile. Though it was just gleaned from various other postings, I could post it again. M<

The compilation steps aren't necessary. Let me know if you find anything else.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Sorry, but the ~/.evolution/log directory does not exist. I went ahead and made the directory just it must be made manually. I am using an Ubuntu package for evolution. Perhaps the logging needs to be enable in Evolution? Sorry for the amateur questions/comments. M<

OK, now I do have problems.

1. I tried to sync my PalmIII through evolution to my zimbra address book and zimbra calendar. My Palm is using a serial connected cradle. I am using gpilot. In both the addressbook and datebook cases the the hard drive starts "going crazy" and the palm eventually looses its connection with the desktop. It seems that there is a memory leak somewhere (if that is the right term). Here is a snippet from /var/log/messages:

I ran evolution with "evolution --debug ~/.evolution/log/log1.txt" and got only the following:

CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...
evolution-shell-Message: Killing old version of evolution-data-server...
(evolution:3806): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loading categories from "/home/walter/.evolution/categories.xml"
(evolution:3806): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loaded 30 categories
calendar-gui-Message: Check if default client matches (1171470022.9211.12@oak 1171470022.9211.12@oak)

After the system "recovers itself." I see that some events did make it into the calendar. They are not all there and the recurring events are not correct. (At least the monthly recurring events become weekly recurring events.)

When I tried to sync the address book, nothing got transferred. I ended up with the similar hard drive/memory problems. I did not have the evolution --debug activated when attempting to sync the address book.

If anyone wants me to debug the connector, I would need explicit instructions. I do not know now to run trace or other debugging programs.

I also tried copying a large (local) evolution calendar to a zimbra calendar. I did this by right clicking on the local calendar and selecting copy. It seems to just hang after a while. I do not think that I have the same memory problem as above. I have to kill evolution after this. I did not have evolution --debug running at the time. I actually let one of these copy exercises run overnight. As with the Palm sync attempts, some events were transferred ... but only a fraction of them. I have done a drag'n'drop of single events and that seemed to work fine.

I would really like to move everything to zimbra and be able to sync directly. I am thinking of just importing the ics file in zimbra. However, I think that I will have the same problem with recurring events and I am not sure this will solve my sync problems. I am wondering if zimbra interprets the ics file with recurring events differently than evolution? Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

I had a chance today to debug the connector and find out why the authentication problem is occurring. I found the answer I was looking for and created a patch against the codebase. I have also created a new package that will work for everyone as I have first tested it on my own desktop.

Please download the new Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 package.

Has anyone got this package as the blog is being migrated to another place ?

Thank you
