Zimbra is NCF's WebMail server.

NCF supports IMAP (recommended) and POP (alternative) access via Mozilla Thunderbird to the NCF Zimbra (NCF WebMail) server.

Zimbra also supports synchronization of the Zimbra Contacts (your NCF contact list) with a Thunderbird contact list.

The synchronization interface is subject to change and NCF members should obtain up-to-date information directly from Zimbra:
