System Requirements

To configure Outlook 2016 with EWS for Zimbra Collaboration need the next:

  • A valid EWS license - [1]
  • Zimbra Collaboration 8.5+

EWS Requires the Proxy service installed

Important note: EWS only works if you have the Proxy role installed and properly configured. If not, you will not be able to use the EWS feature, as Outlook try to connects for the port 443, more information in the next Bugs:

Please make sure you have Proxy installed before you try to configure your Outlook Clients in OS X

If you have the DNS properly configured, just fill the E-mail address, and the Username and Password, you can also unmark the Configure automatically and introduce the IP or FQDN (after put the IP, EWS will autodiscover the FQDN, so the best thing is have the DNS properly configured and use always FQDN)

That's it, Outlook 2016 will sync everything in our account: Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Tasks.

We can see the Outlook 2016 logo and the amount of unread messages:

One of the good news is that all the Contacts, with also the image, will be syncronized between Zimbra Collaboration and the Outlook 2016 for Mac.

All the Tasks will be syncronized as well, we can create one on the Outlook 2016 or in the Web Client, and they will sync between devices.

We will be able to see all the emails located in the User account, in the Inbox Folder

When we compose a new email message, we can select the username from who we want to send the email.

One of the good points here is the ability to paste a Full Excel content in HTML, like this for example:

And we will receive it very well in the Web Client, this was an issue in the previous Outlook.

Sounds Sets For Outlook Mac 2016 Version

When I receive an email from a certain contact or Contact Group, can I get a different “New Email” sound than the default?

You can set a custom sound for a specific contact (or by a variety of any other specific message property) by using a rule.

  1. Open the Rules and Alerts wizard:
    • Outlook 2007 and previous
      Tools-> Rules and Alerts…
    • Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016
      File-> Manage Rules & Alerts
  2. Press the New Rule… button and start with a blank rule:
    • Outlook 2003
      Start from a blank rule
    • Outlook 2007
      Check messages when they arrive
    • Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016
      Apply rule on messages I receive
  3. In the next screen you can select the conditions.
    In our case we select: from people or public group.
  4. In the bottom section, click “people or public group” to select the address(es) from your Address Book.
  5. Click Next to go to the Actions screen.
  6. Select the action: play a sound.
  7. In the bottom section click “a sound” to select a sound file from your computer.
    • Note that you should use a wav-file for this.
  8. Click next to advance to the next screen to set any exceptions when needed.
  9. Once you’ve done that (or skipped that), click Next to give the rule a name.
  10. Click Finish and then OK to close the open windows.


Via the “Play a Sound” rule action, you can hear who is emailing you.

Note: You can of course make many variations with this rule. For instance, you can opt to only hear a sound for people who are in your Contacts folder and disable the default sound in Outlook altogether (see below). For this you must use the condition “sender is in specified Address Book”.

Double New Mail Sound

When a new message arrives, you could now hear a double sound; the default Outlook sound and the one we just configured to play via a rule.

You can work around this by disabling the default sound in Outlook and instead create an extra “play a sound” rule with the default Windows Notify Email.wav sound.

Additionally, add the condition “stop processing rules” action to the rule we created for the specific contact and sort the rules in such a way that the rule for the specific contact is listed above the one for playing the generic sound.

To disable the default email sound in Outlook go to;

  • Outlook 2007 and previous
    Tools-> Options…-> E-mail Options…-> Advanced E-mail Options…-> section: When new items arrive in my Inbox-> option: Play a sound
  • Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016
    File-> Options-> section: Mail-> option group: Message arrival-> option: Play a sound
