Interesting.  It is probably unrelated but I recently hit a spate of 409
error problems with calendars between Zimbra and Kontact.  There was
something unusual about an appointment added from a meeting invitation.
After accepting that invitation, all subsequent calendar edits on that
calendar generated a 409 error until I deleted that appointment.

The developer replied with this: "I traced this to the contact having a
very long UID that was broken across multiple lines."

Could it be a single Contact which either Evolution or Zimbra does not
like - malformed, corrupt, missing? Sorry I can't be more help - John
