Zimbra for Mobile Devices

Using Zimbra on Mobile Devices
Zimbra can be accessed on any mobile device with internet access simply by going to https://mail.goshen.edu/m.  This will access Zimbra in a mobile-friendly format.

Syncing Mobile Devices with Zimbra
Due to rapidly changing technology, we cannot give a definitive list of makes and models that can connect to the Zimbra server; however, in general any device running Windows Mobile 6 or higher, Palm Pre, Android, and iPod Touches/iPhones will be able to connect to the Zimbra server. Please note that all mobile devices must have an internet connection and that ITS is not responsible for any fees incurred due to data usage.

Serial Palm devices (PDA's that sync through a cable) and Blackberrys are NOT capable of syncing with your email and calendar on the Zimbra server.

Effective August 1, 2010, setup of all mobile devices is the responsibility of the user. ITS is unable to provide setup assistance or support of mobile devices.

When setting up your phone to sync with the Zimbra server, following are the settings you will need:

  • Set it up as a Microsoft exchange account
  • Put in your Goshen College email address (eg. johngcgoshen.edu)
  • The Server is mail.goshen.edu
  • The Domain is goshen.edu
  • Put in your Goshen College username and password.
