Below section explains the case when administrator has enforced the two-factor authentication for your account.

2FA Enforced

If the administrator has enforced two-factor authentication, you are required to set it up immediately after you log in for the first time. You cannot use the application until you set up 2FA on your account.

Launch Zimbra.
Login using an authorized username and password.

Mobile or Desktop Configuration

IMAP, CalDav, and CardDav are an open set of rules for synchronizing your emails, contacts, calendars, and tasks with mobile or desktop devices. Zimbra creates mobile profiles which you can download, configure, and sync your mobile devices.

Android OS natively (without the help of external apps) supports IMAP for managing email; however, CalDAV and CardDAV require installation of apps like OpenSync. Mac and iOS have provisions for working with CalDAV and cardDAV; hence, you do not need any Mac or iOS app to work with them.

This section explains how to export profiles. To import these profiles to your mobile devices, you may want to look at below help articles:

Export Profiles

There are five profiles available to download and sync with devices that support this.

Email, Calendar, and Tasks, Contacts

This profile syncs Email, Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts on mobile devices with Zimbra.

Calendar and Tasks, Contacts

This profile syncs only Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts on mobile devices, with Zimbra; it does not sync emails.

Calendar and Tasks

This profile syncs only Calendar and Tasks on mobile devices, with Zimbra; it does not sync emails and contacts.

Contacts

Email

This profile syncs only emails on mobile devices, with Zimbra; it does not sync contacts, calendars, and tasks.

Select → Settings.
Click Accounts in the left pane and choose an account from the right pane.
Scroll down to Mobile or Desktop configuration segment.
Choose one of the profiles from the drop-down and click Download.
Choose a location to save the downloaded file. Zimbra requires this file when importing profiles to iOS or Android devices.

Import profiles to iOS

IMAP: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201320
CalDAV: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph3d1110d4/ios
CardDAV: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph14a87326/ios

Import profiles to Android

Since Android — without external apps — supports IMAP only, you may need to check the instructions specific to the app you use for CardDAV and CalDAV.

ActiveSync
