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

Today Zimbra just got a bit better when I found Zindus.

Zindus is open-source software and runs on all Thunderbird platforms including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Zindus can sync your contacts between Zimbra and Thunderbird. It syncs everything from Address Books to your GAL (Global Address List). It currently supports ZCS 3.x to 5.x.

Adding the Lightning and Zindus add-ons to Thunderbird create a very complete desktop client to Zimbra for any platform. Can’t wait to share to good news with my Outlook users ;-)
