“Zimbra migration” might evoke images of unusual African ungulates moving across the Savannah, but it’s really just the University of Rochester IT department’s way of describing our move to a new e-mail client. It seems like most people have managed to make it through this migration with minimal headaches. In most ways the new client appears superior to the old ‘mail.rochester.edu’ system. One major problem with the old system was its inability to play nice with the iPhone, causing some folks to switch over to using third party services like Gmail as their primary accounts and others to move to the University’s Microsoft Exchange server (ur.rochester.edu). With Zimbra, working with the iPhone is pretty simple (see image to the right for the appropriate settings [go to “Settings:Mail,Contacts,Calendars:Add Account…” to access this screen]). If you’re like me and switched over to the Exchange server, there is at least one good reason to move over to Zimbra: the maximum mailbox size on the Exchange server is a mere 200 MB, whereas you get 7 GB on Zimbra.
