The error 501 is coming from the Zimbra Server, it has nothing to do with perl or any perl module, did you make any modification to the script? if is so, what modification did you do?

try user%40domain instead of user@domain

I don't know whether it's ok to post this here but I just stumbled upon something that might interest some of those who use ubuntu:

Created by Mitja Pagon to ‘scratch an itch’ (so to speak) it provides Zimbra users with convenient desktop integration – albeit basic – alerting them to new mail from all of their Zimbra e-mail accounts.

I just released version 0.2 of zimdicator. It's much more stable now, thanks to some wider testing. Also new in this release is notify-osd support, for displaying notifications on new mails and i18n support, which means that it's now fully translatable.

Excellent work! I saw this on OMG! Ubuntu earlier today. I installed it and it seems to work great. I attached a screen shot.

Thanks a lot! That makes it even better now.

https://user:p@ssword@host.domain/zi...uery=is:unread

Of course this won't work...

The solution is to authenticate using the HTTP::Headers function:

Hope this helps... ;-)

This fixed it for me!
