Mail-Clients
Zimbra Web
The Zimbra web interface (https://mail.desy.de) is the primary management tool recommended by DESY-IT to access calendars, emails and contacts. It can be used from any device that has an Internet program (browser). It does not matter which operating system is used on the device.
Through the Zimbra web interface, you have unlimited access to all the features and settings of your account. Moreover, you do not need to keep any data locally in order to use the web interface, which avoids a possibly lengthy synchronization of data.
