Two paths, depending on the moment
Leaving Zimbra
The mailboxes are created with the same addresses, the messages are copied by the migration tool or by our team, and your company keeps working on Zimbra until the DNS switch.
Keeping Zimbra, with spam solved
lua Shield filters on the way in and delivers to your server, with 99.91% accuracy. The rule for Zimbra 8.5 or later is in the Shield manual.
How to copy your messages from Zimbra
Your company keeps working in Zimbra until the MX switch. Nothing is deleted on the old server.
Check access to the server
Zimbra must accept IMAP connections from the internet, on port 993 with SSL or port 143 with STARTTLS. Usually, the address is the same one your team uses in Outlook or on their phones. See your own server and Zimbra.
Create the mailboxes on lua.email
With the same addresses you have today. People who write to your company will not notice the switch.
Copy the messages
With the admin panel's migration tool, with the preview measuring each account's size before copying: R$ 2.00 per GB migrated from the source, paid once, with migration GB purchased at checkout. The step-by-step guide is in the migration manual.
Server not reachable from the internet? Our team does it with you
If the server is not reachable from outside your company, our team agrees with you on how to copy the messages, billed hourly, quoted on request.
Switch the MX and sync again
On each finished account, the Sync again button brings over only what arrived afterwards, for up to 7 days, and only the additional amount is billed.
Bring your calendar and contacts
By file: calendar in .ics and contacts in vCard or CSV, exported from Zimbra and imported into webmail.

Security and control, without configuring person by person
In the admin panel, administrators set the rules once per group of mailboxes, or for the whole domain through the Default group. A mailbox in more than one group follows the strictest rule, and the panel records who did what.
Two-step verification required
The whole group registers the code, in the app or by email, with recovery codes. With the requirement on, people cannot remove their last method in the webmail. See how it works
Password expiration and change
From 30 to 360 days per group, change at next sign-in, a warning 7 days before expiry and a spreadsheet report. See how it works
Access hours and session timeout
No sign-ins outside business hours or on holidays, and the webmail asks for the password again after the time limit your company chooses. See how it works
Access location by IP
Webmail, Colabora, chat and phones with an Exchange account only from your company's IPs. The admin panel is never blocked. See how it works
Webmail-only group
The group's mailboxes have no IMAP, POP or SMTP in desktop and mobile apps, with webmail and Colabora working normally. See how it works
Phones and apps
Screen lock required on the Exchange account, a list of connected phones, and an app password separate from the webmail one. See how it works
Internal-only addresses
Mailboxes, aliases and groups that receive only from people on your domain. Anything from outside is rejected on arrival. See how it works
A record to check
180-day message tracing, failed sign-ins with the source IP, admin panel logs, and support access with a stated reason. See how it works
Questions from Zimbra users
Does the lua.email webmail have a calendar and contacts, like Zimbra's?
Yes: a calendar with shared calendars, and contacts with the company directory and global address lists. On the phone, the mailbox goes in as an Exchange account, with email, calendar and contacts together.
How do I copy my messages from Zimbra?
With the migration tool, if the server answers IMAP over the internet, on port 993 with SSL or 143 with STARTTLS. The preview signs in to each account and shows the size and what will be copied with the migration GB before copying. If the server is not reachable, our team does it with you.
What about my Zimbra calendar and contacts?
They come in through a file: the calendar as .ics and the contacts as vCard or CSV, exported from Zimbra and imported into the webmail.
I do not want to migrate now. Can the spam handling on my Zimbra be improved?
Yes. lua Shield receives the messages first, filters spam, scams and viruses, and delivers the rest to your Zimbra. The Shield manual has the ready-made rule for Zimbra 8.5 or later.
Can I set access rules by group and use my company brand?
Yes. Group rules come on all plans: required two-step verification, password expiration, access hours, an IP list and a webmail-only group. The IP list does not cover IMAP, POP and SMTP with the app password. Your own logo, colors and address are an add-on.
We are a provider and have many domains on Zimbra.
There are two paths: lua Shield in front of your current server, or the reseller program under your own brand, with lua Colabora included and a REST API. Talk to us to build a volume price.
