My biggest gripe with my stupid Iphone was its lack of push email from zimbra Open Source edition. But I have fixed it.
oh yeah, aint zimbra sweet!
and z-push..
on debian etch apache-ssl only listens on port 443, so no conflicts - you can do this on your zimbra box..
apt-get install apache-ssl php-mail libapache-mod-php4
set up your self signed certificate. common name is your hosts fqdn
get the zpush package from
Z-Push - open source push technology
follow the instructions to install. change the backend source to IMAP
a slight modification required...
/var/www/z-push/backend# vi imap.php
around line 592, comment out existing and add corrected... this stops z-push marking your emails as read.
// $mail = @imap_fetchheader($this->_mbox, $id,FT_PREFETCHTEXT | FT_UID) . @imap_body($this->_mbox, $id, FT_PEEK | FT_UID);
$mail = @imap_fetchheader($this->_mbox, $id, FT_UID) . @imap_body($this->_mbox, $id, FT_PEEK | FT_UID);
Set up your iphone with an exchange activesync email - disable contact and calender sync, only email sync... and it is a ssl connection...
send yourself an email and be gratified with the melodical "ding-dong"
I have no comments on battery and data usage.
cheers
I am feeling somewhat smug now. lol.
