Sync Zimbra Contacts, Calendar and Tasks to your iPod
We use Zimbra at work for email, contacts, calendaring, etc. I have long since got 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 you 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:password@your.zimbraserver.tld/zimbra/home/username/contacts.vcf -O /media/IPOD/Contacts/contacts.vcf wget https://username:password@your.zimbraserver.tld/home/username/Calendar -O /media/IPOD/Calendars/calendar.ics wget https://username:password@your.zimbraserver.tld/home/username/Tasks -O /media/IPOD/Calendars/tasks.ics

Except this isn’t “syncing” at all. Synchronize means, at the end of the operation, the entries from one are present in the other AND VICE VERSA.
Your suggestion is handy but it is only half of a synchronization. I’d like to know how to get my tasks *into* zimbra. I already know how to get them out
