Hi Mickler, about your second point, if you rename a Thunderbird addressbook from 'blah' to 'zindus/blah' then it'll sync with Zimbra.

With Zimbra bug 46570 restoring the yyyy-mm-dd format for birthdays, 0.8.16 of the Zindus addon retains sync of the birthday field.

Users who entered a birthday using Zimbra versions 6.0-6.06 will...

Just for the record, if anyone is curious why sync of birthday field between TB3 and Zimbra was added in 0.8.15 and will be removed in 0.8.16 it is because of the change in format of the Zimbra 6.x...

$client->__soapCall(
"EndSessionRequest",
array(),
array("uri" => "urn:zimbraAccount"),
$soapHeader...

id of the parent folder.

Unless I'm mistaken, birthday fields in Zimbra 6.x are now a free format text field. ie. users may enter "17/12/1974", "12/17/1974" or "hello world" in the web UI.

Further, the picker generates a...

As far as I can tell from reading soap.txt, the server should provide a <change> element in it's response. Otherwise it's a server bug.

This issue is proving to be an ongoing source of bugs for...

Hard to debug from server side only. ie without access to client.

Another possibility - has permission been revoked on a shared addressbook?

The answer will be in the logfile. What is the SOAP request to which Zimbra is responding PERM_DENIED?

GAL access can be enabled/disabled in the admin interface - both 'class of service' and per account.

Does this user have permission to access the GAL?

If not, the options are:
a) give the zimbra user access to the GAL
b) configure the addon not to ask for the GAL (Thunderbird Tools/Zindus/Edit)...

Sam, the only way you would lose all your contacts in your main Thunderbird addressbook (I guess you mean Adresses personnelles) is if:
a) you were in sync
b) you deleted all your contacts in the...

Sam, did you try the Zindus addon? If there was a problem can you explain what the problem was?

The zindus addon syncs:
Zimbra: email address #1 with Thunderbird: PrimaryEmail and
Zimbra: email address #2 with Thunderbird: SecondEmail

Here is the complete description of fields that are...

ntp is installed on both server and clients but they're virtual machines and their time can get out of sync quickly if ntp stops working for any reason.

Hi, is there a way to ask a zimbra server what it thinks the current time is using SOAP? I can't seem to find a method that returns it.

Preauth:

Via soap, you could call <GetContactsRequest> to get the contact ids, then feed them to <ContactActionRequest> to delete (or move to trash).

If the addressbook is a user-created one rather than...

I'm wondering what to do to guarantee a <change token="xxx"> in the <context> element of a SOAP response? I particularly want the change id/token in relation to a <ModifyBlahResponse>

Currently,...

Last I looked the REST API didn't support unique identifers for contacts, so I suspect you can't use it to update/delete.

Another option is the SOAP API, in particular: <ModifyContactRequest>.

Answering my own question here ... in case anyone else runs across this thread.

After reading the source:

I can see...

RFE filed:
Bug 36113 &ndash; feature to disable the Emailed Contacts addressbook

I'm wondering whether it's possible (and if so, what the syntax is) to grant a sharing request using zmsoap.

This is my best guess at the syntax:
zmsoap -v -m user1 -p password -e...

Just to clarify: currently there's no way to entirely disable "Emailed Contacts" - ie so that users do not have this addressbook at all?

Just to be sure I haven't misunderstood before filing an...

Sorry, false alarm. I double-checked the .gz and it's fine. I don't have any explanation for the listing - possibly some virtual machine wierdness or a ctrl-c that I typed without being aware of it.

Hi, I'm just wondering how to upgrade to 5.0.13 under debian. I downloaded and unzipped zcs-5.0.13_GA_2791.DEBIAN4.0.20090206132505 and expected to see an install.sh but couldn't find one. ...
