Category:Z-Push

Z-Push is an open source ActiveSync solution. Whilst primarily designed to work with Zarafa, it will also work with most email solutions directly (via IMAP); and can also use 3rd party interfaces (known by Z-Push as backends) in order to access email data. Obviously ActiveSync is about more than just email, and Z-Push aims to sync all those other data types (contacts, calendar, tasks etc).

Z-Push v1 wasn't intended to support emails with HTML content, that's expected in v2 (currently in beta), however there is an Active Sync 12.1 branch of Z-Push v1 that can be used (officially its not of a production standard, but it does work very well, so well some have commented that its better than the inbuilt AS support available in Zimbra Network Edition, maybe, maybe not).

In order to get fuller integration between Zimbra and Z-Push requires the use of a Zimbra backend, which is written/championed by a Zimbra forum member who goes by the name of liverpoolfcfan, who deservers a lot of respect and praise for all his efforts. In order to support HTML email a special version of the backend has also been written.
