Hello,
I am starting to find a way to implement a solution for us Open Source admins to allow our users to sync their contacts and calendars from Outlook, Thunderbird and Mobile devices.
I am using Linux and the latest stable version of Zimbra.
So far, I have installed the
Funambol PIM bundle.
I have managed to install a connector on a Windows XP machine with an Outlook 2003 Office installation.
Go
here to get the Microsoft Outlook Connector, this gives a good feel for what is achievable.
Eventually, I hope to provide
Blackberry,
Palm and Mail For Exchange services to my clients. (links there for the connectors)
I am hoping this thread will just allow for us developers to add bits toward finding a documented solution.
The steps so far are as follows, assuming a current working install of zimbra:
Code:
wget http://www.funambol.com/opensource/download_form.html?file_id=funambol-6.0.bin
Code:
sh funambol-6.0.bin
select yes to start your servers.
Now visit
http://localhost:8080/funambol
You can log in with:
username: admin
passwd: sa
Next.....
Start the funamboladmin application by:
Code:
/opt/Funambol/admin/bin/funamboladmin
Go to File > Login and leave the settings as they are, and click Login.
In the settings change the admin password.
Thats it for now I am afraid, I have to do some real work now.
If anyone can help to install the Zimbra connector from
this download page it would be most helpful for the community I am sure.
Cheers and I hope this helps start us off
Costa
