[SOLVED] Lightning Calendar can't Delete

Post by mickier »

I've been using Lightning Calendar plugin for Thunderbird for some time now. It works very well, even with repeating appointments, but there is one problem that I'm still experiencing...
If I delete an appointment in Thunderbird's Lightning, it does NOT delete in Zimbra, (still shows in zimbra web client). The deleted appointment appears to delete in lightning - but upon a "reload calendar" action, the "deleted" appointment comes back because it never was actually deleted on Zimbra.
Create appointments work, change name/date/time/recurring all seem to work, just can't DELETE an appointment from the Thunderbird calendar.
I searched this forum and found many references to this issue - but all were from 2007 - 2008.. Nothing since then, which leads me to wonder if it got fixed for a while and now is broke again? or if everyone simply gave up on Lightning..(!)
Now the real important question: Is this a Lightning problem or a Zimbra problem?
ps. fwiw Lightning does support google calendar (with provider plugin) and deletions do work to the google calendar...

hi,
Are you using a proxy nginx in yuor configuration?

If yes, there are limitations on webDAV.

darn it gvillari, didn't see your reply for MONTHS sorry!
No on the proxy or nginx. Just a single server opensource zim 6.0.12
BUT, I can delete zimbra appointments if I use my iphone calendar, just not from lightning...
