Setting up your new Advanced Email account in Microsoft Outlook is a breeze. In this document, we will cover:

Downloading the Zimbra Connector

  1. First we need to download the Zimbra Connector installer package. Please follow the following link to obtain the latest version of the software:

  2. Be sure to note the download location as we will need to access the installation package in the next step.

Installing the Zimbra Connector

  2. You should now see the installation program. To get started, click the Next button.


  3. After you read and agree to the End-User License Agreement, select I accept the terms in the License Agreement and click the Next button.


  4. The installation process should now begin. Please wait until the process completes...


  5. Once the installation finishes, click the Close button to complete the installation.



Configuring Microsoft Outlook

  2. In the Account Configuration dialog, select Yes and press the Next button.


  3. Select Additional Server Types and then click the Next button.


  4. Select Zimbra Collaboration Server from the Additional Server Types list box and click the Next button.
