Zimbra NG Mobile User Interface Overview

What is Zimbra NG Mobile

The Zimbra NG Mobile module provides an ActiveSync interface to any Zimbra Open Source Edition server, allowing your users to synchronize their mobile phones to the mail server giving access to both Email and advanced features like Calendars, Address Books and Notes.

The ActiveSync protocol

ActiveSync is a moblile synchronization protocol developed by Microsoft. The implementation used by Zimbra NG Mobile is called Exchange Active Sync, and provides PUSH synchronization of Calendars, Address Books and Emails between an ActiveSync-enabled server and multiple devices such as Mobile Phones, Tablets, PDAs and Desktop Compuers.

It's the only protocol, together with Research In Motions' BES/BIS, to offer real PUSH updates.
