Zimbra to PST Converter with Scheduler for Automatic Conversion

Run conversion tasks on a schedule.

The built-in scheduler module automates scheduling tasks by creating tasks, setting dates and times, and setting frequency. After setting up the task, IT admins do not click any button in the software UI. The Zimbra to PST converter automatically converts multiple Zimbra TGZ files to PST. For a cloud-hosted Zimbra server, IT admins run the task on weekdays or off-business hours to reduce Zimbra server load and automate large-scale Zimbra to PST conversion.

  • Date, time and frequency
  • Weekdays or off-hours
  • No clicks needed

Incremental Conversion to Skip Already Converted Items

Convert only new or changed items.

The Zimbra to Outlook PST converter software provides incremental mode to convert only new or changed items since the last run. IT admins use incremental mode to convert Zimbra cloud-hosted emails changed since the last run. Enabling this mode prevents data duplication in the output PST and also shortens the conversion time.

  • New or changed items only
  • No duplicate data
  • Shorter conversion time

Zimbra to PST Converter FAQs

Quick answers about converting Zimbra to PST with zMigrator.

Can I convert a cloud-hosted Zimbra server to PST without exporting a TGZ file?
Answer:

Yes. The software accepts a cloud-hosted Zimbra server as a source as well as TGZ files, so you don’t need to export a TGZ from the Zimbra web client first. Choose the cloud option, sign in, select the mailboxes, and convert them to PST.

How do I get a separate PST for each TGZ file?
Answer:

Add your TGZ files and tick the “Create Separate PST for each TGZ” option before you start the conversion. The software then generates one PST per TGZ file instead of merging them, which suits IT admins archiving user by user.

Will converting the same Zimbra mailbox again create duplicate emails?
Answer:

No, if you enable incremental conversion. The software skips items that were already converted and processes only new ones, so the PST doesn’t fill with duplicates.

Can I schedule a Zimbra to PST conversion to run automatically?
Answer:

Yes. The built-in scheduler lets you set the date, time, and frequency of a conversion task. The task then starts on its own, and a log report is generated after each run.

How do I export a Zimbra mailbox to a TGZ file?
Answer:

Sign in to the Zimbra web client with the mailbox account and open Preferences, then Import/Export. In the Export section, choose the data types you want and click Export to download the TGZ file. You can then add this file to the converter.

How do I open the converted PST file in Outlook?
Answer:

In Outlook, go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Choose “Import from another program or file”, select Outlook Data File (.pst), browse to the converted file, and finish the wizard. You can also open the PST directly through File > Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File. The menu names vary slightly between Outlook versions.
