Examples

Determining Mailbox Size

To find the mailbox size for user@domain.com

zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com gms

You can also get this from zmprov, per server:

zmprov gqu `zmhostname`|awk {'print " "$3" "$2" "$1'}

Sharing

Sharing is combination of providing access & actually mapping a folder to the share,

Permissions (modifyFolderGrant)

zmmailbox -z -m share@domain.com modifyFolderGrant /Folder account user@domain.com r

Mounting (createMountPoint)

Folder mount points for shared folders can be created on the command line to be accessed in the web interface. Currently, the mount points are not downloaded by the ZCO or iSync connectors and therefore must be designated manually in your 3rd party mail client, i.e., Outlook.


In this example, the administrator wishes to designate a mount point to alice@domain.com for the shared marketing calendar located in the marketing@domain.com account for which she will have read/write permissions.

 mbox alice@domain.com> createMountpoint --view appointment /marketing-calendar marketing@domain.com /Calendar
 2342

The following command line options will perform the equivalent action to a user "albert" sharing their Calendar to another user "brian":

zmmailbox -z -m albert@example.com mfg -i /Calendar account brian@example.com none      "Permission: None"
zmmailbox -z -m albert@example.com mfg -i /Calendar account brian@example.com r         "Permission: Viewer"
zmmailbox -z -m albert@example.com mfg -i /Calendar account brian@example.com rwidx     "Permission: Manager"

Note that the last option uses "rwidx", not just "rw". -i is inherit toggeling, does not send an invite email

Also note that you can share an entire mailbox by just having the / folder. So to share an entire persons folder...

zmmailbox -z -m albert@example.com mfg / account brian@example.com r         "Permission: Viewer"

You could do any of the following [account <name> |group <name> |domain <name> |all |public| guest <email> <password>] followed by the permissions like r, rw, rwix, rwixd, rwixda, none, etc.


Types are appointment, contact, conversation, document, message, task, wiki

Sharing the entirety of an account

zmmailbox -z -m share@domain.com mfg / account recieve@domain.com rwixd
zmmailbox -z -m recieve@domain.com cm /shared share@domain.com /
