Sync mobile phone with Zimbra Calendar

• In the Open Network Edition (which we use), Zimbra don't offer an App for mobile devices for free.

• Zimbra supports the 'CalDav' protocol.

• Zimvbr offers an own propriety App 'ZCal' (3 CHF) (supports only Zimbra)

Android

• To use the CalDav protocol, you have to buy a CalDav sync client.

  • CalDav-sync (3 CHF) (third party, supports many other servers like gmail, owncloud, yahoo, kolab, ...)

• After installation and configuration, you'll find your dates in the general calendar app.
• Syncs in both ways.
• Installation:

  • Install 'CalDav-Sync' from the Market and open it.

  • Go to Android Settings and add a new CALDav Sync account.
  • Enter the server name: mail.math.uzh.ch
  • Tick the ‘Use SSL‘ box
  • Enter your User name (email address) and then your password.
  • Select which calendars to sync by ticking its box and press Next.
  • Enter the email address associated with it, probably already the default and set whether to sync to or to and from the phone.
  • The selected calendars are now added to the phone ready for use and synchronization.

Apple iOS

• Apple supports 'CalDav'-protocoll natively.

• Configuration:
  • You are connecting to your Zimbra account via a special URL over which Zimbra allows connection to your calendar
  • Settings application and choose Mail, Contacts, Calendar:
    • Then select Add Account…: press Other: Choose Add CalDAV Account:
    • Enter your Zimbra server hostname: mail.math.uzh.ch
    • provide your username and password.
    • On the account page, open Advanced Settings: Enable SSL and check port,

    • make sure Account URL resembles: https://mail.math.uzh.ch/dav/your@email.address/Calendar or https://mail.math.uzh.ch/principals/users/your@email.address

Spam Filter

There are several spam filters who try to detect spam. They work in a row and each of them may cause 'false positives' (mail detected as spam but is not spam). A typical row:

1. Spam filter at the UZH mail server. Marked with '**-SPAM-**
2. Spam filter in Zimbra (Math Departement). Marked with '#SPAMz#'
3. Spam filter in the personal email program. Typical 'marked as spam'

Junk Folder

• Typically, all mail who is marked as spam by the UZH mail server (1) will be moved directly to the Junk folder. This happens through a so called 'sieve' filter on our mailserver.

• Mails, who are detected as spam by Zimbra, are moved directly to the Junk folder too.

false positives

Every Spam filter needs training from time to time.

• The UZH mailfilter will be maintained by the compute center and you have no direct impact to it. You are able to adjust a 'score' which is responsible to mark a mail as junk. In general this is not necessary.

• The zimbra mail filter can be teached in the webinterface unter http://mail.math.uzh.ch.

  • select all mails which are junk and press Junk.

  • False positives: mark all of them and press not Junk.
