Instructions

Configuring your email account

Follow the steps below to configure your email account:

1. When you first launch the application, enter your Zimbra Pro email address and the associated password, then press Login.

   

2. You now have access to the content of your email account. By default, your inbox appears.

   

Synchronising your emails, folders, calendars and contacts

Because the Zimbra app is the native client for your Zimbra Pro account, it synchronises all your collaborative data at once — no extra configuration is required. Once logged in, the following data is kept up to date on your device:

• Emails and folders: your inbox and your full folder tree.
• Calendars: your events and appointments.
• Contacts: your address book.

Use the menu ☰ in the upper left corner of the screen to switch between your emails, calendars and contacts.

View another Zimbra email account

The Zimbra app only allows you to configure one email account at a time. To view another Zimbra email account, log out of the one you are currently using.

Select the profile icon at the top right of your screen, then press Logout.

What if a blank screen appears when I launch the application?

This is a loading error caused by network connectivity. We recommend waiting a few moments for the application to finish attempting to connect.

If nothing happens, check that your mobile network connectivity is correct, then close the application completely and restart it. Repeat as necessary.

If the problem persists, reinstall the application. This will reset the settings and eliminate potential corruption in the application configuration file.
