Zimbra NG Modules - Client Zimlet

The Zimbra NG Modules Client Zimlet

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

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

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

Features

The Zimbra NG 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.
