Touch Client Feature for Zimbra Collaboration 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7
The Touch Client is a Network Edition feature that enables a new web client interface for a mobile device. It uses the Sencha Touch Mobile HTML5 Framework optimized for the canvas of a smartphone or tablet device.
How it works
When a client first connects to a mail server via a web browser, the server attempts to detect the client type. The options here are Advanced [Ajax], Standard [HTML], Mobile, and Touch. If the mobile device passes the test to use Touch vs Mobile, the client will login to the Touch interface vs. the mobile one. If the mobile device fails, then it will use the Mobile one. The end user also has the option to over ride this "Default". This is by explicitly stating what option they would like to use.
Quick overview of the different Web Client
