I am using iCal with Leopard and Leopard Server and I have had problems
with getting contact with the Server.

These problems have now been solved but the old iCal account to the
Server continues to come back even though I remove it every time I
launch iCal. That is, the account that dosn't work.

I'm using it together with a .mac account so perhaps there's something
wrong there.

I'm using it with three Macs and a Treo 650 which will later be replaced
with an iPhone. And of course, there's no problems with the Treo as it
doesn't synchronize through .mac but only through The Missing Sync.

How can I get rid of the wrong account?

So your problem has nothing to do with Leopard Server.

If you remove the account on your Mac, then quit iCal, then immediately
restart iCal, does the account reappear ? In other words, is it the
synchronisation that's causing the problem ?

How do you know that it isn't Missing Sync that's causing the problem, by
recreating the account each time you delete it ? Unless, of course,
Missing Sync changes files only on the Treo and never changes files on
your Mac.

Work out what operation keeps restoring it.

Yes.

Somehow, yes. The problem can be seen on all iCal.

1. Missing Sync doesn't sync with the Leopard Server's iCal Server - it
simply can't.

2. The account reappears even without having synchronized with the Treo.

A probable cause would be the dot-mac synchronization. But even when
this synchronization is disabled, the account reappears. The URL to the
account on the Leopard Server is:

<http://server.rqnne.dk:8008/principals/__uids__/1984A391-BDDD-4A02-B595
-1F6944364B77/>

- but the catalog doesn't exist on the Leopard Server.

Even if I delete all contents in ~/Library/Calendars the files will
reappear, including the Cache file with:

- the Server Account that should be deleted. In a situation where the
dot-mac account connection has been disabled.
