iCal not syncing with caldav account

I have iCal (on a 10.5.5 Desktop) set up to sync to a Kerio Mail Server version 6.6 install running on OS X Server 10.4.11.

About 4 weeks ago, the iCal stopped syncing the primary account with the kerio server. It also doesn't sync one of the delegated accounts, but syncs just fine with another delegate.

I don't believe it to be a kerio problem because my iphone syncs just fine with the server, and the web interface is also just fine - that's what I've been using until I can get iCal to work again, but I have successfully used iCal for months prior to this problem.

I have removed the account from iCal, added it back in and I've also deleted the iCal plist, which has had no effect on the problem.

Any ideas?

many, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

I cannot get iCal to set up a CalDav account to sync with Google Calendar. I get an error message: error (code -9843 rejecting my password from google.

I also tried using Busy Sync and although I went through all the correct set up procedures and it appears to sync the google calendar events do not appear in iCal.

In addition, when I try to log into my gmail, I frequently get the following message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com.

Peer received a valid certificate, but access was denied.

(Error code: ssl error_access_deniedalert)

The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

If I "Try again" several times, it seems to work and I get into gmail.

Are all of these related?

Thanks.

Wow, with all due respect, what a typical Windows tech support answer. Just start deleting things, maybe that will help.
Any reason behind the suggestion of deleting the birthday calendar? Or just a typical windows type support answer, shoot from the hip, hope it hits something?

I don't have a solution, but I seem to have a work-around:

Background:
I have three calendars in my google account. I sync them with iCal (directly) and my iPhone (via an exchange server).

Problem:
I started receiving the authentication errors recently, possibly related with the roll-out of "Calaboration".

Work-around:
I create two new accounts (one for each of the secondary calendars). These two accounts each have a calendar, and each calendar subscribes with full privileges to one of the secondary calendars (i.e., one new account per secondary calendar).

Then "calaboration" is used to log into each of these new accounts to set up a webDAV relationship to iCal.

It is a kludge, but it seems to work.
