Zimbra is NCF's webmail system.
Zimbra's calendar and contacts follow the CalDAV and CardDAV standards. For contacts, see Zimbra: Thunderbird Contacts.
To install the Zimbra calendar in older versions of the Mozilla Thunderbird email client , you need to install the "Lightning" calendar addon. Go to Tools -> Addons, and search for "Lightning". For later versions it is already included with Thunderbird.
Once the Lightning calendar component is installed, the steps to add your Zimbra calendar are as follows:
1. Click on File -> New -> Calendar
2. Select On the Network
3. Click Next
4. Select CalDAV

- Enter your NCF accountID where it says ACCOUNT_ID, and the Zimbra calendar you wish to add where it says CALENDAR_NAME.
- eg., in my case, to add the default Zimbra calendar, which is named simply "Calendar", I would enter:
- https://mail.ncf.ca/dav/al178@ncf.ca/Calendar

7. Click Next
8. Give it a name, eg. Zimbra: Calendar, and choose a color - I like blue!
