screenshots certainly helped...

1) you were creating appointment under "Local Folders" Calendar - that's your local data, which is not sync'ed to ZCS.

2) again, you were trying to share your Local Folders, which is not sharable. (we need to disable Share Folder... context menu in Local Folders though - that's our bug).

How did you setup your account? If your backend server is Zimbra ZCS, you should set it up as Zimbra Account (not IMAP).

Yup,I am using MS IMAP to set up a new account since
we tried to set up a zimbra account but failed.

you should only use Zimbra account type for syncing with backend ZCS.

which version of zcs you are running? the server host should be the same as the one you use to login from web browser.

Thank for your reply.
We really need a hand here since our company will change to this new server
if we can pass this problem.

We are using Zimbra 6.0.8 GA , Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ,32bit x86 on the
cent os 5.4.
The Webmail really works well. Does the desktop use the web service to connect mail server? Is there a way to verify our ZCS's web service running
fine?

Thanks a lots,
Jason

You should connect to the Zimbra server by using the 'Zimbra account' settings. According to your earlier message ZD was "Unable to connect to....", that means that your server was not reachable from your machine, the port is not available or the server isn't listening. You need to determine what the cause of that error is, can you telnet to your server on port 443 and does it respond?

We find that 443 port is not able to connect. After we shut down the firewall,
we got this error.

So we don't have to keep asking (yes, I saw the version in the post above ), please update your forum profile with the output of the following command (do not post the output in this thread):

zmcontrol -v

When posting error message do, please, post the lines from the log file not a single line out-of-context.

Are all the services running, what’s the output of the following command:

zmcontrol status

BTW, have you disabled SElinux on the Zimbra server?

[phoenix]

The simple answer to your problem is that your Zimbra server isn’t configured to listen on port 443. You have the web UI set fro http not https and therefore using ssl in ZD will not work.

I'd strongly advise you not to have a web server on the internet with access via http, you really should be more secure than that and the admin password should also be changed to something less obvious. You need to set-up Zimbra to use https and you can do that with the 'zmtlsctl' command, go to the wiki and search for that word and you'll fin details of what you need to do - your Zimbra server will then only listen on https and your Web UI users will also need to use that when the go to their web mail. When you've done that you can retry the ZD connection using an ssl connection and it will work.
