ZCS Connector for Outlook

Installation

Installing the ZCS Connector for Outlook creates a mail profile named "Zimbra" and designates it as the default profile. The first time you run Outlook, you'll need to enter the Server name, Server connection Port, whether a secure connection is required, your Email address, and Password.

Initial Sync

After you have correctly entered your account information, you are ready to use Outlook. If you already have mail, contacts, or calendar appointments on the server (e.g. from using the Zimbra web client, or imported from a previous system), choosing "Send/Receive" will begin the initial synchronization of Outlook's local data with the Zimbra server. This may take several minutes or longer; a small Progress dialog window allows you to monitor the sync. After the initial sync, "Send/Receive" will only update Outlook and the server with changes made since the last sync.
