Hello, all. We are having a nightmare of a time trying to integrate Zimbra and any Linux based PIM front end. Both Evolution and Kontact (from KDE 3.5 as we are using Debian Lenny) are seriously broken when it comes to interoperating with Zimbra.
IMAP and CalDAV are working very well in Evolution but Contacts have become a showstopper on what could be a very large Evolution deployment as email without contacts is . . . well . . . useless. The first issue is that we are able to connect via webdav to Zimbra and download the series of .vcf files but Evolution does not seem to recognize them. No contacts appear and there are no search results. I am guessing the problem is that the webdav plugin is expecting mime-type text/x-vcard but Zimbra returns text/vcard. Apparently x-vcard has been deprecated in favor of vcard. Is there any way to get the webdav plugin to access vcard instead? The second problem is the impracticality of downloading the entire contact list every time one wishes to make a query against the contact list. We are looking at thousands of contacts. I'm guessing we are stuck with that as it is the nature of WebDAV from what I understand. Is there any other way? I'd love to use LDAP but that presents other issues more on the Zimbra side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We've lost weeks on this and risk putting a potentially multi-thousand node deployment at risk if we do not solve it.
