🛡️ Security note (as of 2026)

Since it’s a .gov.ua domain, access is likely restricted to official police networks or via VPN.
Do not use personal devices unless explicitly allowed.
If you see SSL certificate errors, verify the certificate fingerprint with your IT security team before proceeding. Login Failures : Usually due to expired passwords

  • Login Failures: Usually due to expired passwords. Solution: Contact the internal IT helpdesk (often via phone or a ticketing system, not via this email).
  • Slow Loading: Often due to heavy load on the VPN or local ISP routing. Zimbra’s mobile optimized version (/zimbra/m) can be used as a lightweight alternative.
  • Certificate Warnings: If an officer sees a “Your connection is not private” error, it may indicate a man-in-the-middle attack or an expired internal SSL certificate. They must not proceed until verifying with IT.
  • Sync Issues on Mobile: Ensuring the device is configured with the correct Exchange ActiveSync server URL: https://mail.police.gov.ua/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync.

⚠️ Common issues reported by users

  • Slow access – especially during peak hours or via remote connections (due to server load or network restrictions).

  • Attachment size limits – typically 10–25 MB, which is restrictive for law enforcement files (videos, case documents).
  • Mobile setup problems – non-standard ports (e.g., 8443 for admin, 7071) or certificate warnings on self-signed certs.
  • Spam filtering – sometimes too aggressive or too weak, depending on configuration.
