How Do I Configure Zimbra?

On an iPhone/iPod touch

Synchronization of email, calendar, and contacts to your iPhone/iPod touch are unsupported by Information Technology Services at this time.

Apple provides support for synchronization with Zimbra Collaboration Suite (UFmail) through an Exchange Active Sync account.

After configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services.

If you choose to synchronize your device with our Zimbra Collaboration Suite, the following steps are required.  Please backup your data before beginning this process.

  • On your iPhone or iPod touch, tap Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then Add Account, then Microsoft Exchange. Note, you can configure only one Exchange account per device.
  • On the next screen (shown below), enter:



  • Tap Next
  • Choose which type(s) of data you would like to synchronize: Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.

 

  • Tap Save

Note that by default, only 3 days' worth of email is synchronized. To synchronize more, go into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select your Exchange account, and tap on Mail days to sync.

Please address any support or setup/configuration concerns to Apple by following their support procedures or through Zimbra's online support FAQ's or wiki's.  Information Technology Services can offer no support or assistance for this process at this time.
