Staff might not be aware that they can fully sync their iPhone with their Zimbra account for handling not only their mail, but also their staff addressbook and calendar. Follow the steps below to enable this.

1. Press the Ip1.jpg home button, tap on the Ip2.jpg Settings icon and then tap on the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option.

3. Type in your account information as shown below. You can optionally change the Description to whatever you would like. It will only show up in the settings menu and in the mail app if you have multiple email accounts set up on the phone. When you're done, tap Save and the phone will verify your account.

5. The device will verify your account one more time. After the information is checked you will be brought back to the Mail, Contacts, Calendar screen where your email account should now be displayed. You should be able to send and receive email now.

6. Before leaving the Mail, Contacts, Calendar screen, go to your newly created account and be sure that Mail, Contacts, and Calendars are all set to "On." Your phone will now sync with your Zimbra account. It will likely ask if you want to keep contacts already on your phone or not and warn about duplicates if you choose to keep existing contacts on your phone. Choose whichever option you'd like. NOTE: this solution means you don't need to use zimbra connector or iTunes with a cable; it's all over the air.
