Re: [PLUG] activesync Was: Need a Groupware/Calendar Recommendation

BTW,

Zimbra appears to Android as an MS Exchange server using Active sync.  They
just emulate it I guess.   Active Sync also syncs the todo lists,  but not
all android clients work with that. ( My galaxy S3 native todo works,  but
nothing on the Nexus 7 tablet syncs todo's correctly )

Keyboard shortcuts are available for the Full Zimbra web client:
