[SOLVED] How to compose an email to multiple recipients selected by tags?

[Wesendric]

Hello forum,

i am completely new to Zimbra and i am really crazy about it!

There is one little thing, i haven't figured out yet.
I can tag everything. That's great. I can go to my addressbook and select contacts by they're tag. Great too. But i can't send an email to all of them at once. That's sad...
Even in the email-dialog i can't select addresses by tag.

Any idea how to do this or isn't this implemented (yet)?

Kind regards,
Wes

Welcome to the forums,

Well at present you can't just search for the tag:whatever in address books > then select them all > right-click or dropdown 'new mail' as it won't let you for multiple.
Vote for / support ticket tag / CC watch this RFE: Bug 25594 - Contact(s) are not displayed in 'To' field after selecting contact(s) then 'New email' dropdown

However what you can do is compose > to: button > type tag:name > search > select them all using whatever method you want (ctl-a or click first + shift + click last).


If you're sending to these frequently you may want to create a contact group - you can even search for tag:name here:

This will appear in auto-complete by simply typing the groups name:

Hey mmorse,

this is the quickest answer i ever got and it was exactly what i looked for!

Now it's up to me to make a test installation and play around with the migration of my Open-Xchange data to Zimbra.

Congratulations, you just convinced another user
