Problem you are trying to solve
My current work uses Zimbra as mail backend, but the smartphone used by employees unfortunately have to use Gmail app because of ActiveSync (Zimbra EAS or EWS).
I saw https://github.com/thundernest/k-9/issues/606#issuecomment-526831943, but now that K-9 Mail joins the Thunderbird family (congrats, by the way! 🎉), maybe EWS/EAS could be reconsidered?
Suggested solution
Supporting EWS and/or EAS.

Start by reading the discussion in this issue and the linked Zimbra descriptions of EAS and EWS. Define which protocol is in scope and what mail features must work; done means the Android app supports the agreed protocol reliably with Zimbra.
