I can confirm that with 2.2009.51-1 firmware and with v5 series Zimbra initial synchronization of email, calendar and contacts will succeed - thou producing error with tasks - as v5 Zimbra does not support syncing tasks through activesync. But after initial synchronization calendar sync doesn't work anymore - because of this task error - and no calendar records are updated (report below suggest that it works even with tasks error but I was not able to verify it - all I know for sure that it does not work on my phone - it only works like that on initial full sync). I opened also bug report for that - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8191

Question to Vitaly: Is it possible to manually configure MfE to skip tasks sync for now with Zimbra v5?

Besides calendar and task - email and contacts syncing seems to complete without sync errors. I have not yet tested much but it seems that adding a new contact from phone results with contact record containing invalid fields (actually no data on proper fields) in Zimbra after the sync - might be data fields schema translatin error/mismatch or something...

Now with N900 and this new firmware, MfE and Zimbra backend:
- E-mail download works fine.
- Calendar sync works fine both ways.

Tasks don't work fine and cause the whole sync process to fail with a communications error ("Error in Exchange server"). Despite this error, e-mail and calendar is synced as stated above.

I have not tried contacts sync yet.

As far as I can see, there is no way in the GUI to disable tasks syncing, so we have to live with the occasional error popup. Although the sync seems to flash the error message frequently when it fails.
