I´m having the same "problem" with Zimbra Desktop (see below). The remote mailbox (a zimbra server) is reachable and when i click "send/receive" everything works, but there´s this ugly white exclamation mark on a red disc ...
Any ideas?
This error message doesn´t pop up, you only see it when clicking on the exclamation mark mentioned above.
Code:
Fehler bei der Kommunikation mit dem Server. Bitte versuchen Sie es später erneut.
