COS and global settings enforced for ZCO users

Zimbra features in Outlook

Zimbra Web Client (ZWC) only features

Zimbra Collaboration Suite offers account configuration by Class of Service and by account. When the client uses Outlook, many of the features and options configured for the Zimbra account are not enforced in Outlook. Only restrictions that are controlled by the server are enforced.

Users can configure their own Outlook preferences. These are not synchronized with the Zimbra server.

When you view an account’s mailbox from the administration console, the view is from the Zimbra Web Client and may not contain files in Outlook that have not been synchronized.

Note: When items are archived in Outlook (Outlook auto archive or manually), the items are removed from the Zimbra server.

COS and global settings enforced for ZCO users

Zimbra COS features and Global Settings that are enforced include the following:
