The Zimbra Web Client
The context-sensitive help of the Zimbra Assistant is very good. Just type in the application you would like to use and follow the instructions from there to send an email, create an appointment, or add a contact. After a few times, it becomes second nature and my personal preferential way of accomplishing these everyday tasks.
Saving Even More Time with Keyboard Shortcuts
Like most applications these days, sometimes it is just much easier to use keyboard shortcuts, as opposed to clicking the mouse multiple times. It seems, after a while, clicking the mouse becomes redundant and amazingly enough just too slow.
Zimbra Web Client comes complete with many keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts are divided into six main categories according to Zimbra. The categories are General,
Mail, Mail Compose, Contacts, Calendar View, and Appointment Compose. There are too many keyboard shortcuts to mention here, but they are listed in the Help system within the Zimbra Web Client by clicking the Help icon (question mark) in the Application chooser. However, I would like to provide you with an example of how to use keyboard shortcuts to send an email with an attachment.
Sending an Email with Shortcuts
1.Log in to the Zimbra Web Client as Worker.
2.Type g m to open up the mail application.
3.Type n to compose the message.
4.Type alt-T to open up the search for addresses.
5.Type CEO in the Search box.
6.Click Enter and highlight The Boss on the Search results.
7.Click TO and click OK.
8.Type Shortcut in the subject Field.
9.Type the message Who needs a mouse?
10.Type alt-S to send the message
Applications within the Zimbra Web Client have keyboard shortcuts that are either particular to that application, or general to the overall client itself. When you have time, and I would also encourage your users to do the same, print out a Quick Reference Card of the shortcuts and keep them handy.
