August 18, 2020 Conference Call Summary 


Known Outlook Incompatibilities with EWS and the ZCO 
Following up on the August 11th call discussion related to Microsoft’s phase-out of Exchange Web Services (EWS) support in Outlook for Mac, John E. said that this phase out appears to only be related to the newest Office 365 version for Mac, while older versions do not seem to be affected. He also said the app store versions of Outlook for Windows are known to not be compatible with the Zimbra Connector for Outlook (ZCO). John H. added that he also knows of Outlook versions that ship pre-installed with Dell and Lenovo PCs that lack the necessary components to support the ZCO. John E. added that he has read reports online of others indicating they cannot setup iCloud or Gmail email accounts in the newest Office 365 version for Macs either, but has not been able to personally confirm this in his testing. 

Writing Zimlets That Use the Apollo Client and GraphQL 
Barry D. said that he wrote a new guide for using the Apollo Client and GraphQL schema available in Zimbra: [ https://blog.zimbra.com/2020/08/zimbra-skillz-using-tags-and-graphql-from-a-zimlet/ | https://blog.zimbra.com/2020/08/zimbra-skillz-using-tags-and-graphql-from-a-zimlet/ ] . He said that, unlike the prior SkillZ series of articles ( [ https://blog.zimbra.com/zimlets/ | https://blog.zimbra.com/zimlets/ ] ) which were more introductory in nature, this is a more advanced guide. John E. asked if there is additional documentation available for the GraphQL schema exposed in Zimbra. Barry said that unlike the existing SOAP documentation which is extensive, the GraphQL documentation is currently minimal.
