Question Zimbra:Can I achieve push email for my treo from my Zimbra server?


John needs to push email out to his sales reps in the field using Zimbra for his mail server and Treos for the client. He doesn't want to have to migrate to Exchange just to apease the execs and big wigs what can he do?

We got your answer right here from the Zimbra Forums.

It looks like ChatterMail is your answer from there website:




ChatterEmail is a powerful email client for PalmOS powered Treo smartphones that supports a wide-range of IMAP and POP3 servers. ChatterEmail supports IMAP IDLE (RFC 2177) which allows for continuously updated email.

Bridging the gap between making the switch from Exchange??

Edit: Here is an update...

Hi Admin,

The Zimbra server supports RFC
2177 out
of the box. As long as the mobile device supports it, you're good
to go.Ideally,
if the device supports Exchange ActiveSync, then you may wish
to use that. Just
tell the device that the Zimbra server is an Exchange
Server, and you're good to
go. We call it Zimbra Mobile, and it's available
in the Network Edition.Also,
keep in mind that not all IMAP/ActiveSync
Clients are created equal. Jwiz4e,If
you're using IMAP, then as long as your
IMAP client supports RFC 2177 (which
most do), then you should be good to
go.


Best
wishes,john



Thanks John!
