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.

Since the administrator has enforced two-factor authentication, you immediately reach a page to set up Two-factor Authentication.

Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)

From Kepler-Patch-24 onward, Zimbra Modern Web app supports server side S/MIME functionality. Users can send Signed or Signed and Encrypted emails to other users.

Following are the pre-requisites:

The administrator will have to enable this feature and provide the user’s private certificate and recipient’s public certificate.
The administrator will have to install the zimlet zimbra-zimlet-secure-mail and enable it for the users.

User can read or send signed and encrypted messages only when the S/MIME feature is enabled. By default the S/MIME feature is disabled for all users.

Encrypted Emails

The Encrypted email refers to an email that has been encrypted with a digital certificate.

Encrypting an email helps to protect sensitive data and preserve confidentiality and privacy. This helps in making sure that only the intended recipient can read the email. If the email is intercepted and opened by an unintended user, that user won’t be able to decrypt and view the email.

For sending encrypted emails, users will need their Private certificate and the recipients Public certificate.

For reading encrypted emails, users will only need their Private certificates.

Signed Emails

The Signed email refers to an email that has been signed with a digital certificate.

Signing an email helps to:

Ensure data integrity i.e. the email was not altered from its original form.
Email authenticity i.e. the email came from an authentic sender.
Non-repudiation i.e. the signer cannot deny the authenticity of the email.

This helps in knowing that the received email message comes indeed from the declared sender (a warning appears if someone else intercepted and modified the message before it arrived).

For sending signed emails, users will need their Private certificate.

For reading signed emails, users will need the recipient’s Public certificate.

Importing certificate

In this guide we assume that the users have got the certificate from standard service providers (e.g. Comodo, DigiCert, Go Daddy, etc) whose root CA certificates are already present in browsers.

For easy understanding of the steps, we will refer to following examples throughout the section:

Sender’s private certificate - sender-pvt.p12
Recipient’s public certificate - recipient-pub.crt

Importing sender’s private certificate

Supported certificate extensions are pfx and .p12.

Select → Settings.
Under S/MIME and Encryption, click +Add a certificate.
From the file explorer, select the sender-pvt.p12 and click Open.
Provide the password when prompted and click Save.
Upon succesfull certificate upload, a tool tip message Certificate saved successfully will get displayed.

Importing recipient’s public certificate

Click [Contacts] tab.
Right-click the contact and select Edit Details.
In the Security Certificate section, click on Add a certificate.
From the file explorer, select the recipient-pub.crt and click Open.
Click [Save].

Sending 'Signed' or 'Signed and Encrypted' emails

Compose a new message.
Add a recipient in the To field.
At the right-hand top corner choose an option from the dropdown. By default Do not sign or encrypt is selected.
- Do not sign or encrypt: Mail is neither signed nor encrypted. This is equivalent of disabling the S/MIME feature.
- Sign: Send signed message to the recipient.
- Sign and Encrypt: Send signed and encrypted messages to the recipient.
Click [Send].

S/MIME and Encryption Settings

You can change the sign and encryption preferences from Settings.

Go to → Settings → S/MIME and Encryption
Select the preference of your choice.
Click [Save].
The selected option will be applicable when users compose a new message.

Event (Appointment/Meeting) Recurrence

When setting a recurring event without any End Date or Occurrence limit, a default limit can be enforced by the Administrator. In such cases, a limit may be applied accordingly. This is applicable for Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly recurring events.

You can set the event to repeat every day, every week, every month, or every year. These repetitions can be customized as well, e.g., every third Friday, or third Friday of every month, and so forth.

Below are a few example scenarios and possible event recurrence settings.

You want to take your pet to the vet, on the 4th of every month, at 11:00 AM, for a routine checkup. You would like to set a reminder. Next appointment is on the 4th of May.

Start Date and Time: 05/04/20XX 11:00 AM
End Date and Time: 05/04/20XX 11:30 AM
Repeat: Every month

Smiths' anniversary is on the 20th of July. You would like to set a reminder to wish them "Happy Anniversary!"

Start Date and Time: 07/20/20XX 07:00 PM. Check the box All Day.
Show as: Free
Repeat: Every year

Today, you meet your team to discuss an exciting idea. You then want to schedule your meeting every second Friday.

Start Date and Time: 07/20/20XX 07:00 PM
End Date and Time: 07/20/20XX 07:30 AM

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

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

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

To setup ActiveSync on Outlook, refer to this guide :- https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Exchange_ActiveSync(EAS)_Outlook_2013
To setup ActiveSync on Apple Devices, refer to this guide :- https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Mobile_Installation_and_Setup_for_iPhone

Hover over a name / email in the address bar of a sent or received email message or draft, or in the Invitees section of a calendar item.

If no Slack indicator appears, the user is not a member of any of your Slack workspaces. A green dot indicates that they are active on at least one of your workspaces, while an orange dot indicates they are away from all workspaces.

If the user is a member of only one of your workspaces, clicking on the indicator button will start a direct message conversation with that user and send you to it in the Slack app.
If the user is a member of more than one of your workspaces, a down caret will appear when you hover over the indicator button. Clicking the button displays a list of the common workspaces between you and the user, and their presence status for each.

You can also check a user’s workspace presence status in the Contacts tab.

Click the workspace where you would like to start the new channel.
You will be sent to that workspace in your Slack app, where a new private channel will be created under the subject of the email conversation and the current date and time (subject_date).
