Notifications Methods

Zimbra NG Modules Administration Zimlet

It consists of the following elements:

(1) "Notifications List": a list the last 16 notifications received.
(2) "Mark as Unread" button: To mark a read operation as unread
(3) "Details": a box that displays the contents of the selected Notification.
(4) "Refresh" and "Mark all as Read" buttons on the top

Email

All notifications are sent via email to the administrator account. The sender and recipient address for email notifications can be selected in the "Core" section of the Zimbra NG Modules Adminsitration Zimlet(default: admin@domain).
