Release Overview

This release note refers to the Zimbra Desktop 2.0 release from Zimbra. Zimbra Desktop is a free and open source email client application that gives you online and offline access to all your email accounts in one place. It's cross-platform, available on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Zimbra Desktop works with many types of email systems to synchronize email, contacts and calendar data between user's mailboxes in the cloud and local data stored on your computer disk.

Installation and Upgrade

Go to the Zimbra Desktop 2.0 Download and Install FAQ, http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Desktop_2_FAQ#Download_and_Install

Installation Instructions for first time users

• Download the installer for the operating system of your choice.
  • Pre-installation: Make sure the location where you install the software has enough disk space. If you plan to sync with large mailboxes, it is important to allocate enough space for all your mailbox data (the data will be saved under your home data directory).

Note: you must have sufficient access rights to install to the specified installation folder.

• On Mac OS do not run installer as the 'root' user.
• On Linux, if you choose default install location and/or want to perform multi-user installation, please run installer as root. See Zimbra Desktop FAQ for more information.
• Run the installation wizard and follow the step-by-step instructions in the dialogs.

Upgrading to Zimbra Desktop 2.0

Zimbra recommends that you uninstall Zimbra Desktop 1.0 before installing Zimbra Desktop 2.0. You can install both versions on the same computer but they run as two different applications. Do to extensive and incompatible changes to the underlying database architecture for Zimbra Desktop 2.0, Zimbra does not support migration of 1.0 data to 2.0.

Local folders in ZD 1.0 must be migrated to ZD 2.0 To migrate the ZD 1.0 “local” data, users must first export the local data to folders to their computer; then import the data to ZD 2.0 when it is installed and running. To migrate “remote” data (data on other servers), users set up their accounts in 2.0 and sync the date from the remote server.

Exporting Local Data from ZD 1.0

Export your local account data, including email messages and attachments, contacts, calendar, tasks to your computer.

1. Click the Preferences tab and in the Local Folders section in the Navigation pane, select Import/Export.
2. To export all the data from the ZD 1.0 local folders, in the Export section, check Advanced settings.
3. Click Export.
4. In the dialog that opens, select Save File. Click OK and browse to a location on your computer to save the file. It is saved as a .tgz file that can be quickly imported into ZD 2.0.

Importing ZD 1.0 Local Data to ZD 2.0

1. Click the Preferences tab and in the Local Folders section in the Navigation pane, select Import/Export.
2. To import all the data to the ZD 2.0 Local folders, in the Import section, browse to the file to import.
3. Click Import.

Setting Up Accounts on Zimbra Desktop

When you first launch Zimbra Desktop, you will need to setup one or more accounts. Zimbra Desktop supports the following account types:

• Zimbra Account – You must have an existing account from an employer or a service provider that runs Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS). ZCS 5.0 servers or above are required.
• Gmail Account – You MUST first enable IMAP access from Gmail website.
• Yahoo! Mail Account – Including @yahoo.com, @ymail.com, @rocketmail.com, and non-US yahoo domains.
• Exchange IMAP Account - Your Exchange server must provide IMAP access. Only mail sync is supported.
• Other POP/IMAP Accounts – You MUST have complete settings information in order to setup POP/IMAP access. You can obtain such information from your service provider.

You can also set up more than one of the same type of accounts. For example, if you have two Zimbra accounts or two Gmail accounts, they can coexist without problems.

NOTE: You MUST have Internet access when setting up accounts, as Zimbra Desktop will need to verify your settings with your service providers.

You can either setup all your accounts first, or setup one first and add others later. Once your accounts are setup, click Launch Zimbra Desktop and start using the software. At any time when you want to add, update or remove accounts, simply click the Setup link (next to help) to go back to Account Setup screen.

NOTE: With large mailboxes or slow network connections, initial sync could take many hours. During initial sync, you can read, compose, send, and receive new email. However you may not find all your messages in search results until the end of initial sync. It is OK if your network connection is interrupted or your computer crashes during initial sync. Zimbra Desktop will continue from the last check point when sync resumes.

Startup and Shutdown

On Windows, you will find the Zimbra Desktop program in the Start menu. On Mac OS, it's located under /Applications/Zimbra Desktop. On Linux, there will be a shortcut placed the desktop.

You can close the GUI client window any time. If you are in the middle of composing an email or have any unsaved changes, make sure to save them before closing the window.

Note that in addition to the GUI client, Zimbra Desktop also has a data engine responsible for synchronizing data with your remote accounts. The data engine will continue to run after you close the client window.

Special Note about Gmail

Gmail IMAP server lists all Gmail labels as folders. This includes both system labels such as “All Mail” and “Starred”, as well as user created labels. Because a single email can have multiple labels, as a result the same email can exist in multiple folders. To avoid downloading duplicate data, we ignore system label folders such as “All Mail” and “Starred”.

Going Offline

When you are disconnected from network or a remote server becomes unavailable, you are in offline mode. You can be in offline mode with a particular mailbox if only that server is temporarily down. When in offline mode, any data that is already downloaded is accessible. New updates to your remote mailbox including new emails will not be received until you are reconnected with that server. You will be able to compose and send emails while offline, but the outgoing emails will remain in the Outbox folder and will not be delivered until after you reconnect to the server. If the network connectivity is lost while data synchronization with a remote server is under way, the process will resume where it was interrupted when connectivity recovers. No data will be lost due to connectivity disruption. For more information please refer to Zimbra Desktop FAQ.

Known Issues

• Bug 51825. When users are notified of a newer version of Zimbra Desktop, users cannot choose to download and update the version within Zimbra Desktop. The work around is to open http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html in a browser and download and run the installer manually.
