Hi James,

We're running Zimbra at Trinity College - this may be more appropriate  
to discuss off-list, but we are able to sync iCal (Leopard) against  
our Zimbra server. You may possibly need to upgrade your Zimbra if  
you're running an older version (We are on 5.0.7 atm, but they're up  
to 5.0.9 now). You should also use the Zimbra iSync Connector to setup  
the CalDAV properties in iCal (it's downloadable from http[S]:// 
yourserver/zimbra/downloads/index.html )

Regarding syncing tasks, no, Zimbra doesn't do that currently, but  
there are bugs/rfes logged to improve that situation - see http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27613 
  and perhaps http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=25796 (and be  
sure to vote for them if you want them addressed sooner)

Hope this helps, but if you want to chat some more, feel free to get  
in touch and perhaps we can swap war stories :-)

cheers,
Mark
