Zimbra Calendar is part of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite. The calendar feature offers group calendaring, enabling members to view others calendars, send group invitations, add events to each others calendars, confirm meeting times, set reminders and send updates on the meeting.
If you are an engineering faculty or staff member you may have a Zimbra account for calendar and possibly email as well. To view that account on an iPhone or iPad, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Open Settings (the gray colored gear icon).
2. Select Mail> Contacts> Calendar along the left hand side.
3. On the right select Add Account.
4. When prompted for type of account, select Microsoft Exchange.
If you already use Zimbra to view your calendar through Outlook, use the following steps to subscribe to calendars you have been given permissions to.
1. In Outlook 2010/2013, click the Zimbra tab at the top. If you don't have this tab, the Zimbra Connector will need to be installed by the DECS Support Office.
2. Next, click Open Other User's mailbox (circled below).
