Built-in add-ons

Zimbra's own small add-ons make everyday work in webmail easier. The ones enabled in your organisation are below.

Everyone

Attaching e-mail or contacts to a message

  1. In New Message, click the arrow of the Attach button.
  2. Choose Mail to attach a message from your mailbox; the recipient can open it as a separate message.
  3. Choose Contacts to attach a contact card (vCard).

The Attach menu (1) and Mail (2)

The same menu has My Computer for files from your computer and Briefcase for a file in your Briefcase.

Some information in the message text is recognised and highlighted automatically:

  • Dates: hover to see that day's appointments; click to open the calendar.
  • E-mail addresses: hover to see the person's details.
  • Web addresses: become links.
  • Phone numbers: become call links.

Use Go to URL in the recipient bubble's menu to open the person's web address.

Search highlighting

After a search, the words you searched for are highlighted in yellow in the messages you open.

One-click archiving

  1. Select one or more messages in the list.
  2. Press Archive on the toolbar. The selected messages are moved to your archive folder. The first time, it asks which folder to use.

Not the corporate archive

This button moves the message to a folder in your own mailbox. Your organisation's legal archive is separate and managed by the administrator.
