next bunch:

documents
37) Notebook pages are unmovable.
38) Create a new notebook page. Click on the "Insert Files" icon. Insert a file--Zimbra creates a hyperlink to the file and uploads the file to notebook folder that the notebook page is in. Save new page (or not, it doesn't matter). The uploaded file isn't visible in the Documents application and it isn't visible in the Briefcase application. Delete the notebook page, and the inserted file isn't deleted. You can see the file if a search finds it or if you use the URL, otherwise, it's invisible.
39) Documents does not seem to have the concept of a selected document. If you are viewing a particular Notebook, the "Print" button is ungreyed. Since no document is selected it isn't apparent what you'll get as the mouse-over text says "Print document." Clicking on the "Print" button doesn't print any document... it prints the table of contents of the currently displayed Notebook.
40) Search Documents so that you find at least one document. Right click on any document and you get a contextual menu with three items. Tag item--works. Delete--works. Print--fails. You don't get the select item printed, you get the table of contents of the last Notebook that was displayed. If you search right after you login having never displayed a Notebook then nothing happens when you click print.
41) Data loss bug: A Documents applications seems to allow you to enter very long filenames and will save the document with the specified name... except if it happens to be greater than 128 characters then you get a "A network service error has occurred." message. If you get this message after clicking the "Save" button, no harm done. If you get this message after clicking the "Close" button and then clicking on "Yes" to the "Do you want to save changes?" dialog box, then any changes will, in fact, be lost.
42) Three Notebooks named "aaaaa", "bbbbb", and "CCCCC". I'd expect to see the folders displayed in that order... alphabetical order. And so they are. I might reasonably expect three same named documents contained in 1 Notebook folder to be similarly ordered. Sadly, it isn't the case... they are displayed "CCCCC", "aaaaa", "bbbbb".
43) If you are viewing a Notebook's contents or a document on the toolbar there is a mystery button: "Browse..." There is no tool tip, nor does it appear to be documented in the help. What it apparently does is an unqualified search of the currently selected Notebook folder (which you can see if you have "Show advanced search language in search toolbar" turned on). So, for instance, if you are in the default Notebook named "Notebook" or you are viewing any document in the Notebook "Notebook" then clicking the "Browse..." button does (in advanced search syntax) this search: in:Notebook. But such a simple thing it still does wrong: 1) if you have a Notebook named "abc" which contains a Notebook named "def" and you are viewing "def" then clicking on the "Browse..." button needs to do a in:"abc/def" search, whereas it actually does a in:def; which finds nothing and displays the error message "No such folder exists." 2) if you have a Notebook named "my notebook" and you are viewing "my notebook" then clicking on the "Browse..." button needs to do a in:"my notebook" search, whereas it actually does a in:my notebook; which finds nothing and displays the error message "No such folder exists."
44) Notebook pages exhibit an odd behaviour where occasionally and randomly the "Modified on" date of a document will be turned into a hyperlink. If you mouse-over the hyperlink, you get a pop-up showing calendar events for that day (just like the mini-calendar) and clicking on the hyperlink switches to the Calendar application and displays the corresponding day.
45) Data loss bug: Edit a notebook document. If you use the mouse to navigate away, you will be asked if if you want to save your changes. If you happen to use the keyboard to navigate away (for instance, if neither the page name nor content are currently where the cursor focus is and you press "N" for "New Document") then you will get a new document, any changes to the previously open document are lost.
46) Navigate to any notebook in Documents. Click on the "History" action for a document and the document's history will be displayed. Click the "Close" button on the tool bar and the document's history will be closed, but you will not see what you expect. You now will be viewing the default Notebook, but no pages will be visible in the table of contents; notebooks will be visible. Secondly, instead of the usual "New/Refresh/Edit/Browse... etc." tool bar, the tool bar will still have "Revert" and "Close" buttons. And, if you navigate to a notebook in the table of contents it will display the contents of the notebook including the expected notebooks/documents, but the "Actions" column will be missing. Thirdly, if you now navigate to a notebook in the Notebook folder list (including the default notebook), the table of contents will be displayed correctly. But, the "Actions" hyperlinks (Edit/Delete/History) may not work. They randomly seem to work in the default notebook, but always don't work for all other notebooks. Some unidentified activity in Zimbra may clear this contition; logout/login always will.

briefcase
47) The pop-up message when you mouse-over a folder should say how many files you have in that folder, but it says "Folders."
48) If you have a folder with files and a subfolder, the subfolder appears with the files (explorer, detail, and column views). You'd expect to be able to drag items to the folder, but it doesn't work. You have to drag items to the sidebar folders to move the items to another folder.
49) Two top level folders and one subfolder in the second top level folder. Three items in the second top level folder. Drag item to the subfolder. The pop-up "folder/file" file count has updated, but the icon still appears in the top level folder. Click on the item and it's preview appears. Click on the subfolder, it is empty. Logout/login and the file now appears in the correct location.
50) Load a file in to the Briefcase... for example, abc.gif. Zimbra will identify the file type (in this example) as a "GIF Image." Now e-mail the file to yourself and click on the "add to briefcase" hyperlink. The file may be identified correctly, or it may say "Unknown Binary."

preferences
51) 'The maximum number of characters for a signature is 1024. If you exceed this limit, then you get an error message when you try to save the preferences. Suppose you are creating an HTML formatted signature and, having encountered this error, you wish to edit the signature to make it less than 1024 characters. Having previously clicked "Done" the signature is sitting there in the window. Clicking the "Edit" button often gives blank signature content. So, you can't edit it as the content has been thrown away. But, not only that, if you click in the signature field, the cursor doesn't appear and it doesn't appear to accept typing (clicking on a formatting toolbar icon will clear this state and allow text entry).
52) Leave a auto-reply message enabled with Start Date and End Date enabled. The Start Data and End Date checkboxes may become unchecked and Zimbra starts sending the message again
53) Psychotic Zimbra signature behaviour. Create and edit various signatures at various times using both text and HTML. Login, go to the Preferences/Signatures page and see particular signatures, compose a message, Zimbra will display those particular signatures upon request. Llogout/login and go to my Preferences/Signature page now I see different signatures. Every time I login I don't know what signatures I'll get. Zimbra appears to be storing old versions signatures and displaying them randomly.
54) "Save" a search string. The pop-up window allows you to name and save your search string. The default location is the "Searches" folder. If you save your search in the default location, it appears in the left-hand list, the advanced search, and Preferences/Shortcuts/Saved Search Shortcuts. If you save your search in some random folder, it appears in the left-hand list, the advanced search, but not Preferences/Shortcuts/Saved Search Shortcuts.
55) Preferences/Shortcuts/Saved Search Shortcuts says you can "Assign numeric shortcuts to Saved Searches." In fact you can't. What you can do is assign numeric shortcuts to saved Mail searches. Any other application's saved searches don't appear in the "Choose Search" list when you click on the "Browse..." button.

more than one application
(56) Mouse-over the trash icon in Tasks and Calendar the message says "Move selected item(s) to Trash."
