Mac Mail
Mac Mail can be used together with the Connector for Apple iSync to access the Zimbra Collaboration Suite server and synchronize data to and from the Mac.
Mac Mail comes with the OS X operating system for Apple computers. We recommend that you use IMAP to keep your mail on the server and available to you via Webmail when you travel.
