[SOLVED] Zimbra can not sych Yahoo bizmail calendar, notes or tasks

[kd4rrw]

Hi,

I guess this is more of a comment than a question. I have a Yahoo small business account and I downloaded Zimbra Desktop to evaluate as a replacement for MS Outlook. While the IMAP functionality of the Zimbra-Yahoo bizmail link-up was great, I was surprised that I could not synch the Calendar, Notes and Tasks with my on-line Yahoo bizmial using Zimbra Desktop, which is something that I can do with MS Outlook using Yahoo's autosync. There is not even an easy way to export my Yahoo Calendar, Notes ot Tasks and import them into Zimbra.

I find this lack of functionality to be both surprising and a bit frustrating. I would think that having "IMAP" type functionality for Yahoo bizmail's Calendar, Notes and Tasks would provide Yahoo a highly desirable competitive advantage.

Best regards

IIRC, you should be able to at least sync the Calendar & Contacts using the Yahoo! Mail account type; syncing Tasks and Notes are not available yet.

Are you getting a red dot indicator during the sync? If so, please enable debugging as per this article, and send over the <install_directory>/zimbra/zdesktop/log/zdesktop.log file.

Contacts do sync but the Calendar does not. I am not getting a red dot.

Hmm...ok, no red dot. Go ahead and enable the debugging anyway, do another sync, and send over the zdesktop.log file.

I just upgraded my Yahoo calendar to the new beta and that fixed the problem.
