5.0 Coolness (Part 2)

Posted in Open Source, Zimbra Server, Zimbra Web Client by John Holder on the November 8th, 2007

As we get closer to the Release Candidate 2 of Zimbra, it’s time for another taste of what’s to come.


A special thanks to all of those who have helped us test 5.0 so far. Some great feedback has been posted in our forums, and was sent to us from our hosted demo.

Some of these features may change between now, and when we release the final version.

When we release RC2, we’ll be taking the hosted demo down for a few hours for the upgrade. Then you can login and test all of these cool features yourself.

Messages that have a "X-Priority:" header are automatically now displayed in the Zimbra Webclient with the appropriate Priority.
Users can also explicitlly set a priority of a message in the Zimbra Webclient.
A long awaited feature is the ability to insert inline images into messages. Yep, we’ve added that too.
In the Standard Client, we’ve added a WYSWYG editor as well as insertion of inline images.
Back in the old days (3.1-ish), if the server was updated, users of the Zimbra Web Client didn’t always know the server was updated. Sometimes this caused problems. In 4.0-4.5, we tried very hard to make sure that upgrades didn’t break a user’s experience when running from a cache. In 5.0, the Zimbra Web Client now checks the server version, and when the client is out of date, it tells you, and loads the new files.

    Hello Team,

    When you allow us to download the RC2 release, because the ‘zmmailboxdctl’ issue is a big trouble in RC1. So we are waiting for this RC2 Open Source Edition release to download.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Nandhakumar K.

    A great feature to add Would be a Rich Text to jpeg converter No one has this in their webmail. Or At lease a picture button to add our own gif or jpeg’s

    When using your Hosted Demo, changing the theme to Steel results in a brushed steel background and nothing else - that theme is broken.

    Will Zimbra 5.0 support OS X 10.5.x AKA Leopard? This is a real must have on my part.

    Cheers and keep up the good work!
