tagging and collaboration

[Noise]

Noticed interesting feature on this picture:

(drag message here to tag it)


My 1. question would be: is it possible to implement "tagging categories" on a organization-wide basis ... tagging categories that would appear in user's client ?
That means, when installing the client on user's machine, to have already tagging-categories (taxonomy) included in his/hers mail client.

2. Can a message have multiple tags added to it?

3. Also would it be possible somehow to publish a message, say on a certain part "forum" or "company blog" or "blackboard" or however you would call that, and have that message tag also exported with. That would mean that certain information is tagged with certain tags, and having the same tags (taxonomy) all over the company, that would help gather/classify various emails (information) in organized way.

Cheers,

Noise

PS: Should this go to developers forum? Move it, please, if you find that more appropriate.

To provide a default set of tags in a new account you would have to write a custom provisioning script that would provision the account, then use the CreateTagRequest soap API to create the desired tags.

Indeed.

... and they would appear in the client?

Yup. The AJAX client shows all tags that exist in the account.

Excellent, thanx for all the info!

Any comment on Q3 maybe, anyone?

At this time the tags are internal to Zimbra. However they are exposed via the SOAP api so anybody could access a user's tags and export them like you describe.
