Just use Zimbra Webclient

[amitpandey07]

Hi,

We are creating a CRM application for a contact center.
We have a Kana email server which we dont want to replace.The kana server keeps the information of routing and queues. We are looking for a Webclient which can talk to kana and display the messages to agent and can comapose new email. I tried to download the ZimbraWebclient, ZimbraServer,ZimbraSoap and ZimbraTagLib. After deploying the ZimbraWebclient as webproject on Tomcat webserver and putting ZimbraServer,ZimbraSoap and ZimbraTagLib as depent jar files in WEB_INF folder. I am getting following error when trying to hit the URL
htp://localhost:8080/ZimbraWebClient/public/login.jsp
Please let me know if there is a way to reolve this issue.(We are running this on Windows server 2003 OS)

The Web UI part of Zimbra is tightly integrated with the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, it would be extremely difficult to use it against another mail server - if it's even possible.

Like Bill said, it will be more work than its worth to de-couple it. The Zimbra Web Client uses SOAP calls directly to Zimbra, so you would in essence have to rewrite all of those calls in the javascript to get it to do what you want against the Kana server.
