Manual based on iOS 14.6.

Linking accounts with apps

For security reasons, account information should not be stored on external servers. Therefore, before using a third-party app, we recommend checking whether data is stored externally or asking the Uco.

We also do not recommend using the Outlook for iOS app, as the account information is stored on Microsoft servers.

General information about the calendar

Please note that the pre-installed iOS calendar app is not able to display attachments in appointments. If you want to see the attachments displayed as calendar appointments, we recommend using the Zimbra web interface, which you can reach at mail.desy.de.

We cannot currently recommend alternative third-party apps.

Calling up the zimbra web interface
