One strength compared to the worg entry is that it handles (some) recurring events. My approach is to download the .ics file and then run this python script. I had not seen this. I'll give it a try, thanks. Alan

The only drawback that I have noticed is, that the frequent messages ~Reverting buffer `gcal-termine.org'~ are sometimes in the way in Emacs' echo area. Thanks a lot. I'll try this approach then. I have found out how to get .ics files out of zimbra but I'm still looking for iCloud (I know how to export using the Calendar app on OS X, but it's not that easy to automate). Thanks again, Alan

There is also a ruby script: https://github.com/simonthum/ical2org but I couldn't get this to work correctly with British Summer Time, despite help from the author. (The python script seems to handle the timezones okay for me.) Stephen
