Zimbra Next Generation Modules - Client Zimlet

The Zimbra Next Generation Modules Client Zimlet

Along with the huge changes and improvements for all existing modules featured in Zimbra Next Generation Modules 2.0, a new component called "Zimbra Next Generation Modules Client Zimlet" has been added to Zimbra Next Generation Modules.

This new entry allows end users to access new Zimbra Next Generation Modules features, along with some old ones which were previously available only in the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Administration Console.

The Zimbra Next Generation Modules Client Zimlet is 100% free, it requires the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Core to be functional and its deployment is not mandatory.

Features

The Zimbra Next Generation Modules Client Zimlet is more than a simple Zimlet: it's an evolving tool that will be expanded and extended over time to provide the best Zimbra experience possible to end users.

  • Via the Zimbra CLI through the `zmzimletctl` command.
