Choosing what to sync

You can now choose what Zimbra items you want to sync with your iPhone.
Most people just choose Mail and Calendar.
By default, Contacts is switched off.

*NOTE* If you turn on Contacts, your existing iPhone contacts will be replaced with your Zimbra contacts! This is why most people don't turn Contacts on.

Under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings, you will now see your Zimbra account.
Touch your Zimbra account name to change the settings on it.

Additional Settings

An important setting to change is the Mail Days to Sync setting.
Touch Mail Days to Sync and choose your preferred value.

*NOTE* If you choose No Limit all of your Zimbra Mail will be available on your iPhone. This will cause the initial sync to take a while.

Using Mail

To view your Zimbra mail, click the Home button to go back to the main icon screen.
Touch Mail

Touch the name of your Zimbra account.
It will say Connecting at the bottom of the screen.
Depending on how many Mail Days to Sync you selected, it might take a while for the initial sync to complete and your mail folders to show up.
