i like to use webmail over https because i only have one ip address for my web server and mail server which are on separate boxes. to set zimbra up to use https instead of http use the following command
zmtlsctl https
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start
after you restart zimbra, you can now log into zimbra using https://mail.example.com
if you’re like me, you’ll want to use your blackberry with your mail server to send and receive all of your spam messages. by default, zimbra collaboration suite is setup secure enough that a bis (blackberry internet service) server will not be able to connect to your box and push email to your phone, but there is a work around.
warning: the following howto will cause your passwords to be sent as clear text which is not recommended
1. log into the admin page by going to https://mail.<yourdomail>.com:7071
if some of you didnt notice, there was about a 2 day downtown on my server. i had a power outage one day and i wasnt at home, so the backup battery ran out and the server fell hard. i had numerous errors upon login with no answer to be found.
i came across a thread in the ubuntu forums by peabody. he created a python script called autokey that will take your abbreviations and expand them as you type. it looks pretty damn cool, check it out here and watch the video below.
