ZimbraNotify: The Missing Linux ZCS Toaster

Posted in Community, Open Source, PowerTips - Users by Mike Morse on February 19th, 2008

Zimbra has a toaster for Mac, and a toaster for Windows…but didn’t have a toaster for Linux until pbruna came along with his adaptation of the checkgmail program by Owen Marshall. Linux fanboys rejoice, your toaster is here (bread not included).


If you haven’t had time to drop by the forums lately here’s a quick preview of a recent community contributed project.

Our Linux users have been keeping an eye on this RFE, as it would make a nice complement to Zimbra Desktop.

Bugzilla has a ton of your cool ideas that we’re working hard to get finished. In the meantime, Linux users: how do you find out when that e-mail you’re expecting, has come in?

PBruna has come to the rescue with a toaster-like sibling!

He’s also hard at work to produce a SOAP based version so that it will do things like:

  • Apply fast “mark as” states to messages
  • Show appointment notifications
  • Provide a quick contact search & more
  • You can grab his current version over at the Zimbra Gallery.

    The Coolest Thing Ever is Released!

    Posted in Open Source, PowerTips - Users, Zimbra Web Client by John Holder on February 13th, 2008

    The coolest thing ever is highlighted in this blog post with a cool video. It took us a little longer than expected to get the extension out, but it’s ready. You need to make sure that you have the com_zimbra_dnd.zip zimlet installed on the server.


    This is a Firefox 2.0+ (including Beta 3) extension that allows ZCS 5.0+ users to simply drag attachments into their briefcase and mail compose window.

    Special thanks to Suman Raj who spent countless hours getting writing this and keeping Zimbra awesome! The extension can be found over that the Zimbra Gallery.
     
    Enjoy!

     




    Zindus: The Thunderbird Contacts Extension

    Posted in Community, Open Source, PowerTips - Users by John Holder on January 7th, 2008

    Toolware Pty has written a very cool Thunderbird Extension for Zimbra called Zindus. It is open-source software and runs on all Thunderbird platforms including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

    Thunderbird users take note! There’s an awesome extension that syncs your contacts between Zimbra and Thunderbird. It syncs everything from Address Books to your GAL (Global Address List).

    Although not an officially supported extension, some users in our Forums have already adopted this new extension. Zindus is Open Source (which is why I’m blogging about it).

    I’ve used the extension, and had no trouble syncing all my contacts from ZCS 5.0 to Thunderbird version 2.0.0.9 (20071031). Zindus works with ZCS 3.x-5.0 Open Source and Network Editions

    If you use Thunderbird, and want your contacts, just go over to the Zindus site, and download the extension.

    PS- We don’t make this extension. We just think it’s cool!

    One of
    the most advanced, and useful features of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (Zimbra),

This is part of a series of PowerTips that we call, “The Power of Search”. You can also get some info on what’s in store for our next release.
