    • Install the client on your computer and launch it.
  2. Configure the Zimbra account:
    • Go to “Preferences” and select “Accounts”.
    • Select “Add” and enter your Zimbra account details.
    • Follow the prompts to complete the setup process.
  3. Export the Zimbra emails to a PST file:
    • Go to “Preferences” and select “Import/Export”.
    • Choose “Export” and select the folders or items you want to export.
    • Choose “Microsoft Outlook (.pst)” as the export format and select a location on your hard drive to save the file.

Note: During the export process, some data may not be exported, such as calendar events, contacts, and tasks. You may need to export these items separately or use a third-party tool to transfer them to Outlook. Also, make sure that the exported PST file is not password protected or encrypted, as this may prevent you from importing it into Outlook.
