Thumbs up My M2 Observations

I installed M2 yesterday on my test box FC3... easy install... /etc/init.d/zimbra stop./install.sh -u ./install.sh. ( I am waiting for Debian before go live!)

As I played with Zimbra, I made notes of what I liked,had problems with, wished for. So...


Way To Go Category:
The multicalendar view is excellent! This is how it should be. I can select or unselect which calendars to view AND have the appointments display in one view. Outstanding!

The overall system response feels quicker. Perhaps some performance tweaks were made?

Calendar printing is much better. Instead of a listing of events, we now can print a calendar.

Multi select for drag-drop works very well.

Problem/Question Category:
So far, spam filtering has not tagged anything as spam (spam is enabled ). I have lowered the spam settings to 10/40 tag/kill. No joy.

Email filter rules spontaneously change. I have set a rule to- From: contains badip.com Mark As read + File into /Junk. When I log in again later I see:
From: is badip.com Leave in Inbox + File into /Junk. (contains becomes is, /Junk becomes Inbox.

In calendar, right click on calendar brings up a menu. Selection New Appointment/New All Day Appointment is no-responsive. I tried the menu using Linux(Ubunutu)/W2k/WXP/Firefox/IE..... no response.

I have shared the admin calendar with my (Mike) account with Manager rights. How can I add/delete to the admin calendar from my (Mike) calendar view?
I have tried unselecting my calendar with ONLY the admin calendar checked. Adding an appointment adds to my calendar not the admin calendar.

RSS for email only returns error messages.

Wish Category:
In Calendar view, option to set the work day start time. I may have an appointment set to 7:00am for the next 4 Fridays. If I am in workweek view and I click on the arrow to show the next week, the view jumps to a default of 8:00am... I have to scroll up to see if I have any 7:00am appointments. Make an option to set the default starting time for viewing.

In Calendar, I have several calendars shared to me. I have made a "universal" calendar using the admin account. I put holidays on the admin calendar and then share the calendar to all users. Every time I log out and back in, only my calendar (calendar) is selected. I must again select the Holiday calendar (admin). Make selected choices of calendar "sticky". Or have a user option to have "sticky" calendars or to always start with only the user's calendars selected.

Calendar printing. It would be nice to be able to have the calendar colors also print. So my calendar items would print a different color from the Holiday calendar items.

Syncing to a PDA would impress my boss!

Overall, it is a very nice update. It is quite useable as is... but I would, of course, like to see some tweaks.

Good Job!!


Mike
