What is a .ZDB file?
A .ZDB file is a type of file that is used with email. It is created by a tool called Zimbra Connector for Microsoft Outlook, which is a special add-on for the Microsoft Outlook email program. This add-on helps people who use Zimbra email accounts to manage their emails directly from Outlook. Even though the .ZDB file is very similar to the standard Outlook email file, which is called .PST, it has a different extension at the end, which is ".zdb".
If you have a .ZDB file and you want to use it in Outlook, you can do so by changing its name. Specifically, you change the end of the file name from ".zdb" to ".pst". After you do this, you can import it into Outlook just like any other email file. This is useful if you need to move emails from the Zimbra email system into Outlook.
To open a .ZDB file, you need to have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer. Additionally, you must have the Zimbra Connector plugin added to Outlook. This plugin is what allows Outlook to work with .ZDB files. Without it, Outlook won't recognize or open these files.
In summary, .ZDB files are used to store email data for Zimbra email accounts in a way that can be managed through Microsoft Outlook, thanks to the Zimbra Connector plugin. If you need to open a .ZDB file, make sure you have both Microsoft Outlook and the Zimbra Connector plugin. Remember, if you want to import a .ZDB file into Outlook, you'll first need to rename its extension to ".pst".
