Zimbra contacts synchronization CardDAV (CardBook)

  • 772

has anymbody experience with configuration for synchronization contacts between Zimbra Community Edition and multiple devices with multiple clients MS Outlook/Thunderbird/FossaMail/K9?

Is needed some plugins/zimlets for Zimbra? Or Third-Party software? I tried Zimbra Connector for MS Outlook, but it doesnt work and it seems, that only works with Non-Community edition.

Anybody tried Z-Push, Zindus?

  1. You will need some plugins or use software that is compatible with industry standards as caldav and carddav. I have sucessfully synchronized with Evolution and Thunderbird Lightning with Zimbra using IMAP for e-mail, caldav for the calendar and cardav and ldap for the address books. For thunderbird you'll need some plugins to make it work. The basic key is to know the URL wich is: https://zimbra.server/dav/

    I've bought the Caldav sync app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.caldav.lib )for my android phone and still use that because ActiveSync doesn't support multiple calendars.

    We did move to the Network Edition bacause of the Outlook connector, ActiveSync and the supurior backup implementation. You can see some examples on how to use ActiveSync on your iPhone on https://www.mailcasa.eu/zimbra-kennisbank-synchronisatie/124-zimbra-instellen-op-een-iphone

    Well, I figure it out. The problem in CardBook plugin with validation while adding addressbook was that I used self-signed ceritifcate. So you have to add server certificate exception in mail client (in my case Thunderbird) manually. Then validation process is working. And now you have read/write access to your contacts in Zimbra.

    FYI: if you use port for example port 8443, then your url is: https://zimbra.domain.tld:8443/dav/[email protected]/NameOfYourContactFolder
