testzimbra - outlook client

[woodelf]

I've been looking at a hosted Zimbra service to replace our Exchange but as the Zimbra Desktop client did not meet our expectations. I wanted to test our 'Outlook 2003' client with a Zimbra server.

I set-up a clean install of Outlook 2003, signed-up on the test server (web client worked fine) and installed the Outlook connector from the link in the welcome email - OK so far.

However, I can not get the Outlook connector to authenticate against "testzimbra.com" with the username & password which are working via the browser... any ideas welcome.

OK, figured it out - simply configured outlook natively with the test server data & it works very well.
Pleased to find that outlook's native 'categories' are converted to zimbra 'tags' - cool.
