Zimbra tasks: As of Zimbra 5.0.5, the .../Calendar url does not include tasks, and the .../Tasks url does not work for CalDAV (there is a corresponding url for ics/WebDAV -- in the Tasks tab, in the left column Tasks folder, right click and click the 'sharing' menu item to display it).
===Google Calendar Notes===
CalDAV vs. GDATA: Google Calendar's CalDAV protocol support is an early prototype and is not recommended; users who just want to access their Google Calendar are much better off using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/4631 GDATA provider].
Reminder alarm loop: Google Calendar's CalDAV server does not preserve Sunbird/Lightning alarm properties ([http://code.google.com/p/google-caldav-issues/issues/detail?id=25 Google CalDAV issue 25], Sunbird/Lightning {{bug|451821}}), so Sunbird/Lightning will get into an infinite alarm loop. (Events are created with an alarm by default, disregarding Sunbird/Lightning preferences, so just creating an event starts the loop.) The workaround is to tell Sunbird/Lightning to ignore these alarms: in the Calendars tab, popup the menu on the Google calendar, click 'Properties', and uncheck the checkbox "show alarms".
Location URL: As described in the [http://www.googlewatchblog.de/2008/08/02/calendar-mit-via-webdav-mitsunbird-oder-thunderbird-synchronisieren/ instructions (in German)], the CalDAV URL is of the form<br/> https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/<i>CALENDAR_ID</i>/events<br/>
where <i>CALENDAR_ID</i> for your initial calendar is your full email@address. Note this ends in <tt>/events</tt>, not <tt>/user</tt> (<tt>/user</tt> identifies the user account, not the calendar, and is used in Apple iCal). For other calendars, extract the calendar id from the URLs in the calendar settings page.
No Tasks: Google Calendar does not support tasks (todo's).
More known limitations are listed at [http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99355 Google Calendar CalDAV Support].
