CalDAV and CardDAV are available already in our develop branch and is available in Z-Push 2.3.0.
This is a limitation of the ActiveSync Protocol. This will be possible in ActiveSync 16 for calendars. We will implement this in the future.
Error rendering macro 'jira'
Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
For the 2.3 release we implemented some architecture changes which will result in massively improved speed and memory consumption.
This is possible via the Z-Push webservice in Z-Push 2.3.0. We still lack a frontend to support this, but this will be possible with the WebApp MDM plugin of Zarafa in the future.
Packages and Repositories are available, see more information here: Installation
We are already working on PHP 7 support. It's will be part of a minor release of Z-Push 2.3.x. This depends on user feedback. Please see more information in the ticket.

These applications are using Exchange Web Services (EWS) instead of ActiveSync to synchronise with the server and therefore will not be able to use Z-Push.
We are currently investigating the required changes and additions for ActiveSync 16 support.

There are many things that are not working when Using Outlook 2013 or 2016 with ActiveSync.
These can mostly be divide into 3 categories: Green, Yellow and Red.
Category Green - We are working on these and are confident that we can solve them in the near future.
No reply/forward flags
No out of office support
No Free/Busy support
These are working with Z-Push 2.3.0 using the Configuring GAB-Sync for Kopano OL Extension.
Category Yellow- Doable, but with technical challenges. We are trying/investigating but can no make concrete statements at this moment.
We have technical ideas how to solve this. We are working on it as we understand the requirement for many users. This will most probably work, but a few technical details still need to be solved. A few issues are shared with general "sharing capabilities".
The difficulty here lies in the complexity of possible rules. Only a few simple rules does solve some problems, but is not the right answer to this question. This is something that needs to be solved in a bigger picture (WebApp + z-push). This is something we think about, but don't expect fast solutions.
In the near feature it will be possible to open single folders of other users. Keep looking for updates of the Configuring GAB-Sync for Kopano OL Extension.
Notes support is available in ActiveSync, but Outlook simply ignores Note folders. The Configuring GAB-Sync for Kopano OL Extension enables Note support in Outlook 2013 and later.
Category Red - These are limitations of the ActiveSync protocol or Outlook does not support them, not much we can do.
Also a limitation of the ActiveSync protocol. The "Distribution list" feature is completely disabled due to this.
This is related to the "import/copy between account" issue. There is no way in ActiveSync to save emails. ActiveSync version 16 does allow saving of Drafts (but it seems as only Drafts, not in other folders). Still, Outlook 2013 & 2016 seem not to support that feature.
This is a limitation of the ActiveSync protocol. ActiveSync has no capabilities to create emails on the server. Like you can create a contact in Outlook that is created on the server is not possible with Emails. Emails can only be sent (different than synchronization). This is the reason why you can't import emails via ActiveSync. This would, technically, be possible with Contacts, Tasks, Appointments and Notes, but it's in general not supported by Outlook (copy between accounts).
This is no issue in ActiveSync, but Outlook only supports to create Email folders in Outlook. If a folder is created in WebApp or on the mobile it will appear momentarily later in Outlook.
Outlook supports ActiveSync since Outlook 2013. Nothing we can do here, sorry.
Outlook has only two options:
synchronize 1 month of data
synchronize all data
With big mail boxes it will take some time to get all the data synchronized.
Issue of Z-Push 2.2.x with synchronization of many folders was solved in Z-Push 2.3. On averagely fast server Z-Push is now able to synchronize 100 folders in less than 100 ms.
Synchronization speed was vastly improved for Z-Push 2.3. Also memory consumption was massively lowered. If you want to run Outlook via ActiveSync you should only use Z-Push 2.3!
This was reported by a few users and we recently saw that for the first time on one of our accounts. This issue was solved and will be released as part of Z-Push 2.2.10.
