Last October we shared with you Zimbra, a Web email/productivity company that produces Outlook similar tool.
Since then, Yahoo acquired them and few days ago, Yahoo announced its first Beta release of its desktop client with transparent online/offline capability and more importantly the office collaboration suite to make this a worthy contender to Google Gmail and Google Apps. (Although some Google Apps already have online/offline capability. Gmail/Calendar and Contacts are still lacking this feature).
Let’s dive in to its main components: Email, Contact, Calendar, Documents, Tasks, Briefcase, Mobile Client after the jump!

Lots of mobile devices are bundled with MS Exchange synchronization services for PIM (email, calendar, contacts, ..) including the new iPhone 2.0 devices. The Exchange services require either a corporate account, paid Exchange hosted account or the subscription based Apple MobileMe.
NuevaSync is a new free service allowing direct, over-the-air, native synchronization of smart phones and PDA devices with Google PIM, e-mail and calendaring services. NuevaSync does not need any software installed on your device because it uses synchronization protocols that are already built in.
With NuevaSync and Google you can basically push email, calendar, contacts from Google to your Mobile device for free.
Supported Devices

Beaugiles.net has the step-by-step tutorial if you need. But below is a summary that I am confident most of you can get this going fairly quickly:
- You need a Gmail Account, if you don’t have one, you can sign up here.
- NuevaSync reccommends you verify your account, by filling out a simple CAPTCHA.
For regular Gmail and Calendar accounts go to:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
For Google Apps accounts go to:
https://www.google.com/a/YOURDOMAIN.com/UnlockCaptcha (substitute ‘YOURDOMAIN’ with your domain!) - Go to NuevaSync, and create a new account.
- When you’ve verified your account, login to set your settings. For Calendar. Click ‘Change’ next to the Calendar option, and choose ‘Google’ (or disabled if you dont want to sync your calendar). Click Change to confirm. On the next page, click the link to configure your account.. Click Save. Head back to the status page on NuevaSync, where you’ll hit ‘change’ next to Contacts. Here, you can choose from your Google or your Plaxo contacts.
Voila, you already set up the online Exchange part.
Depending on what mobile device you have, ‘Microsoft Exchange’ services require the below information
- Email, put in the one you used for NuevaSync registration.
- Your Username is the one you chose when you registered for NuevaSync, and same for the password.
- For “Server”. Enter “www.nuevasync.com”
That’s it, it’s done! You can play around with your push/fetch settings in the Settings.app on your device as well.
