I've been trying to test Evolution (both in Gutsy and Hardy, they fail
the same way) against Zimbra 5, and I've been having similar issues.  I
add the account (my server supports SSL or cleartext, and both fail the
same way), and then I click on the checkbox for the calendar in the
calendars list in order to enable it.  Evolution asks me for the http
password, and I enter it and click OK.l  The box remains checked for a
few moments, and then winks clear again.

It prints either:

(evolution:14059): calendar-gui-WARNING **: Unable to load the calendar
Unknown error

or:

(evolution:14059): calendar-gui-WARNING **: Unable to load the calendar
No such calendar

Thanks to Wireshark, I've been able to determine Evolution sends the
following OPTIONS stanza:

OPTIONS /dav/orospakr/Calendar HTTP/1.1

Host: orospakr.ca:81

User-Agent: Evolution/2.21.91

And of course Zimbra replies with the predictable HTTP 401 message:

HTTP/1.1 401 must authenticate

Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:14:29 GMT

WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Zimbra"

However, Evolution does not attempt to acgtually log in, and just gives up 
immediately and clears the checkbox (and prints the aforementioned messages on 
the terminal).
