Z-Push Zimbra Backend (Push Email, Contacts, Appointments & Tasks)

[Felipe Nolasco]

That is known limitation.

At this time z-push does not formally support HTML emails.

There are a couple of experimental/development branches that support the later versions of ActiveSync - but none has formally been released or targeted for release. Once it is clear which one will be used, HTML support will be added.

liverpoolfcfan,

And the attachments are not displayed, this is not supported?

Thanx!

I have been working on a recently reported issue with some attachments not getting pushed out to the phone. It should be fixed in the next release.

However, it will still be down to the phone as to whether it will display the content or not.

How have you set up your proxy on the gentoo machine ?

Is it doing SSL connections ?

z-push is installed on gentoo -right ?

Are you using http mode authentication on zimbra - or https ?

Thanks so much for taking the time to help out... I appreciate it!!

My Gentoo box is running apache with SSL. I've installed z-push on the gentoo machine. In the z-push config file I tell it to forward to the internal zimbra machine (ubuntu) with name 'yourmailserver.com' on port 8889: via:

define('ZIMBRA_URL', 'https://yourmailserver.com:8889');

Zimbra is using https authentication not http.

Any ideas or help debugging this would be very appreciated....

Thanks again!

I am assuming you can log into the web client successfully through
https://yourmailserver:8889 - as this would be a pre-requisite.

If so, then take a look at this thread.

Zimbra https proxy with apache

PS: You should edit your previous post to remove your mail server address

Yes, I definitely can log into my email via https://yourmailserver.com:8889/. I'll check out that link you sent, thanks!

i've noticed that when editing my contacts on my mobile it gets synced to zimbra but the email field is not what i expected.

my email fields are changed to this format: "firstname lastname <email>"

what i expect after a sync from my mobile is for the email field to only list the email address, since there is already a field for firstname and lastname.

i tried to do a basic grep to see if i could edit zimbra.php to adjust this behavior but i wasn't successful.

all the other fields however sync just fine as expected.

Are you using Android ??

I never saw this before using Windows Mobile or Nokia. But, I just tried adding an email field to a contact on Android, and it does send over the name as well as you pointed out. The Android implementation of ActiveSync as released to date (2.2) is far from perfect.

I'm interested to know which way Apple behaves ? Anyone care to try and reply, please.

[eleith]

yes, i'm using android 2.3

Zimbra https proxy with apache

I don't think this actually applies to me as I'm not actually proxying my https connection between two hosts. I've got one host running in a chroot of another host. e.g. it's as if its all running on one host with the external apache stuff running natively on gentoo with zimbra (and it's apache) running inside the ubuntu chroot. The ubuntu apache is running on a different port (8889) to avoid port conflict with the gentoo apache running on port 443.

Any other ideas how to debug the soap problems?

In the proxy system case, on which system does php-curl need to be installed?

I'm assuming it needs to be installed on the outer web-server that is accepting the connection and forwarding to the internal zimbra host. Does that sound right?
