Details On What's Supported

Please review the following:

http://www.zimbra.com/support/support_overview.html

And if you have your support portal account (Network Edition Customers), login and read the pdf url's on the left side called "Support Program Plan". I would like to specifically mention the section under "Exclusions", called "Reasonable Use Policy".

As of 12 August 2008, it says:

Requests that are excluded from support include but are not limited to: performing initial installs of customer systems, performing migrations, performing upgrades of customer systems, performing configuration changes to add or remove servers or services, and testing a customer’s system. Zimbra Professional Services may be available to assist with these projects.

Zimbra Variables

Ways to check on different zimbra variables.

su - zimbra

cd /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/
more zimbra.schema

Zimbra Contact Fields For CSV Import Mapping

Please see /opt/zimbra/conf/zimbra-contact-fields.xml

This will show you what "fields" Zimbra is looking for and mapping to in regards to importing from another applications contact csv files.

One easy way to do this is the following:

  • From zimbra ajax client as a test user (or any old user) do an export Addressbook.
    • This is under the preference tab > Address Book > Import / Export > Export - select Addressbook and click Export button
  • Then open file file something like Excel
    • Your only interested in the Top line - that gives the default fields for a Zimbra Addressbook.
  • With your other Mail system, export the addressbook to a csv file.
    • Open this file in another Excel window.
  • Copy the column data from the one Excel sheet and paste it into the appropriate column within the Zimbra Excel sheet.
  • Move as much as you can and then save.
  • Now you can try importing this csv file back into Zimbra.
  • Either with the webclient or you can use some on the CLI commands

Resources to review

Format to get around permission denied on multi-domain hosting servers

If you getting permission denied rather than resource not found...try this format example:

http://MAILSTOREofUSER.DOMAIN.com/zimbra/user/FIRST.LAST@USERS_DOMAIN.com/inbox.zip

or

http://MAILSTOREofUSER.DOMAIN.com/zimbra/user/USERNAME@USERS_DOMAIN.com/inbox.zip

I but both in case one issue is where the username has special characters, like the period.
