Display multiple Zimbra accounts on Firefox

[Samp]

Hi,

Some users have several Zimbra accounts and want display it on different tabs on Firefox but it's not possible, only one account can be display at once. It's the same problem with Prism (Linux)

At this time the only way we found is to use Thunderbird instead of Zimbra interface.

It's not possible to have several Zimbra accounts displayed on the interface as we do with external IMAP account.

How to solve that ?

Sam.

you could use parent/child accounts, see

Mailboxes: Sharing vs. Relationships » Zimbra :: Blog

however if you're running zcs6 i think theres still a few nasty bugs with them.

My parent account is samp@geismar.com (ade020de-bbf7-48c5-9123-4d18db3cd999) and child przyswa@geismar.com (ff04551b-abb7-4008-ace4-ca9dc6f5b912).

And I got error message:

zimbra@zimbra:/$ zmprov ma samp@geismar.com + przyswa@geismar.com {ff04551b-abb7-4008-ace4-ca9dc6f5b912}
usage: modifyAccount(ma) {name@domain|id} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

Perhaps there a syntax error in ZCS 6.0.4 ? but it should be the right solution !

there should be no space between the + symbol and the przyswa account

err wait theres more wrong than that, try these commands

zmprov ma samp@geismar.com +zimbraChildAccount ff04551b-abb7-4008-ace4-ca9dc6f5b912
zmprov ma samp@geismar.com +zimbraPrefChildVisibleAccount ff04551b-abb7-4008-ace4-ca9dc6f5b912

Argh... I can display multiple account but I can't send mails from any account, perhaps a From: problem !?

what version are you running? you should update your profile

parent/child accounts were generally broken in 6.0. There have been lots of bugfixes every version but i don't think they're 100% fixed even in the latest. But you should definately be erunning 6.0.5 if you want to use parent/child as I think thats the version they work best in.
