Toaster App?

[Dirk]

Seems to always show "1 new messages" on mouseover, also does not seem to popup if a message is delivered into a folder other than 'inbox'.

Also, I'd like all users to access it from a shard network location for easy version control, but when running it from a networked drive (with full read/write access) I get an error when pressing the "register mailto handler":

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

It works for me on XP/SP2 and Firefox 1.5. Thanks.

A couple of comments/requests:

• The sys tray icon tooltip says "1 new messages", not "1 new message".
• A new email arrived, and the toaster popped up, but I subsequently deleted the email and the sys tray icon tooltip still reports "1 new messages". It's out of sync.
• It would be really nice if the toaster could alert the user to upcoming appointments/meetings in addition to incoming emails.

Thanks again,

Tom

Currently the toaster only notifies of new messages when the arrive in your inbox. Its probably a better user experience to sync it with the N most recent new messages in your inbox.

The errors above indicate you don't have sufficient priveleges to write to the registry. The registry needs to be updated to register the mailto handler.

Also, you can run it from a network drive, but its probably better to have the files locally (its only 45K). The reason is if you do have the toaster registered as the mailto handler and the network drive is not available, none of the mailto links will function.

I'm running behind a proxy server, and it some how detected that (since it is working)...how it is getting those settings? Is it using the default browser proxy settings?

Given that the Zimbra application encourages correct use of filters to organise mail in folders, and many users have lots of filters setup to automatically file and tag messages, the toaster app really should pop up when a mail hits the users mailbox, not the inbox. Most of the mail I recieve through the day never sees the inbox, it goes directly to a folder.

Also, I dont think the error completely due to the registry rights, if I put the file on a mapped network drive and on the local drive, It errors when being executed from the mapped drive and works fine locally. The user rights never change. It's probably best to run it locally anyway, I just fear the upgrades

We can make it so you can tell the toaster which folders to monitor. Please file an enhancment request.

By default it uses the IE proxy settings.

Thanks Sam, filed at http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12323

Any update on the out of sync problem?

Ps. I'd understand it being out of sync until it refreshes (5 minutes for me). Would make sense if the "get mail" function updated it immediately.
