We use Zimbra at work for email, contacts, calendaring, etc. I have Zimbra syncing with Thunderbird and my phone, I love it.
At the weekend I was updating the music library on my iPod Nano (2nd Gen) and
noticed I had hidden the Contact and Calendar menu entries. I decided to see if
I could get my iPod Contacts and Calendar synced with Zimbra, it turned out to
be very simple. In the examples below replace username
and password
with
your Zimbra user credentials. Obviously use the URL to your Zimbra server and
replace /media/IPOD
with where your Linux distribution has mounted your iPod.
wget https://username:[email protected]/zimbra/home/username/contacts.vcf -O /media/IPOD/Contacts/contacts.vcf
wget https://username:[email protected]/home/username/Calendar -O /media/IPOD/Calendars/calendar.ics
wget https://username:[email protected]/home/username/Tasks -O /media/IPOD/Calendars/tasks.ics
