Windows 8 Support

[3P-Chris]

Hi,

I have recently installed Windows 8 onto my laptop and have been unable to install Zimbra Outlook Connector. Having a search on the internet I found a bug relating to this: Bug 77098 – Outlook connector support with Windows 8 that says it has been resolved.

Trying the version 8 client available to me: ZimbraConnectorOLK_8.0.0.673, I am still having the same issue error as found in: Zimbra Connector for Outlook and Windows 8

I have tried troubleshooting other posts found in these forums such as:

> Checking Path in My Computer > Advanced
> Creating new Outlook Mail Profiles
> Removing Zimbra from regedit
> Copying recommended files to Common Files > System ... etc

Thoughts/Advice is welcome.

Regards,
-Chris

I would actually try uninstalling the connector completely and then connecting to the server. I was able to get Windows 8 Mail connected to my Zimbra server out of the box with no connector installed on the first try, so give that a shot.

I'm guessing he wants it working outlook. I have some clients who have upgraded to Windows 8 already and I'm unable to get the connector working for them. Is there any ETA for fix?

Oh gotcha...had to read that one again.

Hopefully the next time there's an upgrade available for Server, the Connector will be updated to support Windows 8.

Yup, exactly that.

I want to get it to work with Outlook 2010.

What's the status here? We need Windows 8 support. Windows 8 has been in the making for years, it comes as no surprise at all. Zimbra VMware had months to work on this with Release Previews. Is anyone here listening???

obviously not. I have windows 8 customers that are complaining Zimbra is the only thing that doesn't work on Windows 8. Lovely!

I was told windows 8 is not supported until release 8.0.2 . Looks like we need to wait.

Just to update anyone who is also having this issue, tried version: ZimbraConnectorOLK_8.0.1.717_x86.msi this morning. Same issue is still outstanding.
