This guide assumes that you have already installed Thunderbird and, optionally, have already installed the Lightning Add-on. This guide shows you how to access to your Zimbra Mail and Calendar using Thunderbird 2 with the Lightning 0.5 Add-On. Optionally, you can view your Zimbra Calendar using the separate Lightning Add-on for Thunderbird. So anyway.With Zimbra Collaboration Server, you are able to access your email using the Mozilla Thunderbird messaging and collaboration client. I really want to like Thunderbird but it just seems to be kind of a mess. I am trying as hard as I can to avoid subscribing to Office just to get Outlook but so far haven't found a 3rd party email/cal/contacts app(s) that (1) meet my needs and (2) actually work right. Ironically, I can get Oauth credentials from AT&T, which is otherwise awful, but not Google). Doing some research I tried TbSync and whatever-the-extension-to-that-that-works-with-Google-is-called (I forget) but it wants, I guess, some sort of OAuth credentials and I have no idea how to get those from Google (I don't have a Cloud account, don't want to and know nothing at all about Google's APIs which the online resources I've found all talk about. It's there but I don't see any way to connect it to Google. So that's useless.Īnd I don't know how to get contacts working at all. So far email seems to be working OK (I think) but I can't get the built in calendar to work right - it seems to connect and lists all ~10 of my Google calendars but only actually shows like maybe two of them. All I've set up so far is my main Gmail account (I need to be able to access a number of different email accounts on several different servers but am starting with just my main personal gmail account to keep things simple). After trying several email clients (including paying for them) and getting annoyed I am back to trying Thundebird with the new 91 release. So after trying to switch from Mac to Windows at home earlier this year I am still having issues with finding a Windows 10 email/calendar/contacts clients(s) that don't suck.
