All installations of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office must have the latest updates from Microsoft. If Outlook is upgraded to a different version, ZCO must be uninstalled and reinstalled. This is particularly important following an upgrade to OL, as ZCO needs to be installed to a different location on the client computer.
Note: Click to run versions of Outlook are not supported. If you do not, you can obtain them temporarily from your system administrator. Before installing ZCO, make sure you know the following information The Zimbra server host name Whether the server requires a secure connection Your Zimbra email address Your Zimbra account password.
Alternatively, your system administrator will be able to provide it to you. If Outlook is open, close it. Double-click the MSI installation file on your computer to execute the installer. Click Next. To begin the installation, click Next. You can configure multiple profiles, each for a different email account. For example, you might have a profile for your work-related email account and another for your personal email account. You can view profiles that are configured on your machine by using the Mail option in the Windows Control Panel.
Open Outlook. Enter the Server Name. Unless otherwise instructed by your administrator, leave Use Secure Checkbox selected. Enter your Zimbra email address.
Enter your Password. Note that these are typical steps only. In that case, they will provide details separately. Specify the name of the new profile. Advanced Profile Settings Your administrator will tell you if you need to change any of the following settings. You must have administrative privileges on your computer to upgrade ZCO.
You must have administrative privileges on your computer to uninstall ZCO. Synchronizing with the Zimbra Server The first time you open Outlook after ZCO is installed and configured, your Outlook mailbox automatically does an Initial Synchronization with the server. During Synchronization, new mail received during the synchronization is delivered immediately. For best performance, you should not interrupt the initial synchronization while it is in progress, for example by restarting Outlook, or disconnecting from the network.
If you do, it will resume from where it left off. What Information is Synchronized? After Your Initial Synchronization After your first synchronization, you can access your Zimbra account using Outlook. Your upcoming appointments and tasks display in the To-Do Bar on the right side of the view. From 8. Synchronizing Your Account Changes you make using either Outlook or the Zimbra Web Client are automatically synchronized to each other within approximately one minute.
ZCO will pop up the "Restart" dialog to do this. Compacting Your ZDB Over time, the ZDB can become fragmented - taking more space than it needs, and affecting performance - particularly after the deletion of a large number of items.
For large mailboxes, this operation can take significant time - an hour or even longer - during which you will not be able to use Outlook, so you should do this at a time when you do not need to use Outlook. In the Account Settings dialog box, click the Email tab. Zimbra administrators can now enable the automatic compaction of databases.
If the administrator has disabled the progress dialog, the compaction still proceeds in the background, and you may see the Outlook splash screen for a bit longer than usual. Authentication When Outlook starts up, it connects to the server to verify your login credentials. Zimbra administrators configure the authentication type that you use. Username and Password The most common form of authentication wherein you enter your username and password to complete the verification process.
Two-Factor Authentication If your Zimbra server account has been set up to use Two-Factor Authentication, then you will be asked to provide a time-sensitive passcode during sign-in. Certificate Authentication If your Zimbra server account is set up to use certificate authentication, then you need an appropriate certificate for your Zimbra account configured on your PC. Synchronizing Outlook Notes Outlook Notes synchronize with the server where they appear within Briefcase folders.
Personas A Zimbra Persona allows you to create a separate email identity to manage different email accounts. You can view, add, edit, and delete your Zimbra Personas from Outlook.
If you previously created personas using the Zimbra Web Client, the personas will sync with Outlook. Enter the name for the new persona and click OK.
Synchronizing Personas When composing or replying to an email, you may need to sync your personas if you do not see them under Accounts Outlook and older or under From Outlook and newer. This action syncs personas and displays the Account menu in the New Message dialog.
Select the persona you want to delete. Click Delete to delete the selected persona. To recover a deleted persona before changes are applied, click Cancel. You cannot delete the default Persona. You cannot recover personas once you have deleted them and saved the changes.
Using Zimbra Tags and Outlook Categories In Outlook, you can assign categories to email messages, contacts, tasks, and appointments. Rules Rules allow you to automatically filter or manage incoming or existing email in your account. Automatically move an incoming email into a specific folder Delete a message Forward a message Assign an email to a category Flag a message Mark a message as read. In the Rules dialog box, click New.
A rules wizard dialog appears. If the condition you selected requires a value, such as with specific words in the body , you must enter the values or parameters for the condition: Click the condition line in the Edit the Rule Description section.
Click the action line in the Edit the Rule Description section. Click the exception line in the Edit the Rule Description section. To make changes, click Back. If your rule description is correct, click Finish. Select the rule you want to edit. Click Edit. Select the condition, action, exception, or other detail you want to edit.
Click Finish when you are finished editing the rule. Click Apply to exit the Rules Wizard and save your changes. Select the rule you want to delete.
Click Delete. Running an Email Rule You can run rules at your convenience or on already-received emails. Select the rule to run. ZCO runs the highlighted rule regardless of whether you have checked the checkbox. The filter runs on the Zimbra server, so the client must be online, and changes for affected messages need to synchronize to the Outlook client before they are visible.
Sharing Folders You can share your email, address book, calendar, tasks, and notes folders with others either in your organization, external guests, or the public.
