Desktop Compatibility

Zimbra features compatibility with Microsoft Outlook, Apple Desktop applications, Novell Evolution, and all other standards-based POP/IMAP/iCal clients. Our broad desktop compatibility gives end-users freedom of choice and administrators the ability to protect their desktop investments because mixed PC, Mac, and Linux desktop deployments can all run on the same ZCS Server.

Standards-Based Clients
Clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Sunbird, and Eudora can be used with Zimbra to access email and even calendar data because the open source Zimbra Server uses an all standards-based approach and supports POP, IMAP, iCal, CalDAV, RSS, etc. The support is available in both the Open Source and Network Edition of Zimbra Collaboration Suite.

Features:

• Access email via POP or IMAP (available on virtually all email clients)
• Access calendar on clients that support iCal or CalDAV
• Sync contacts with import / export (.csv file) from Zimbra Web client

Using Zimbra via POP/IMAP is quite straightforward, simply you need to have your domain and account configuration information from your administrator to enter in the account set up in your client of choice.
