Zimbra

Hello, I have just recently started to use Zimbra Mail and I have tried to set up the toaster to update me so that I don't have to keep the webmail open all the time. I have set it up a couple times and entered the server information and other input as indicated when you hover the mouse over the various fields. Unfortunately, the toaster doesn't seem to work and has prompted me with a "Cannot connect to server" pop up.

I just got another window as well:
"WebException: Timeout
The operation has timed-out.
at Zimbra.Client.Dispatcher.SendRequest(RequestEnvelo pe re)
at Zimbra.Toast.ZimbraSession.Auth()
at Zimbra.Toast.ZimbraSession.SendRequest(Request apiRequest)
at Zimbra.Toast.ZimbraSession.get_NewMsgs()
at Zimbra.Toast.MailboxMonitor.CheckMailbox_Internal( )
at Zimbra.Toast.MailboxMonitor.MonitorMailbox()"

If anyone might be able to help me configure my toaster correctly, it would be of great help!

Thanks

Welcome to the forums,

Does your server use a non-standard port? So you would enter like: mailserver.domain.com:#
Or only http only? (uncheck 'Use Secure Connection')

Though usually these are shown by 'unable to connect errors' - your error seems like it just didn't get a reply after attempting to auth, but I don't know if you're using a prior version.
You can check on the Toaster exe & dll's which have version numbers. (The installer doesn't show a version yet.)

If you don't know how to check those locations:
Did you get this along with zimbra desktop alpha or via your server downloads page?
If you're an admin, via the command line:

Code:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol -v

or in the main search bar of the advanced (ajax) web-client enter:

Code:

$set:get version

Then simply go to> http://www.zimbra.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile > about halfway down the page 'additional information' > zimbra version blank - to update your forum profile so we're not always asking

While it will still need a browser window open to operate, if you use firefox you might also try the ZimbraCheck Firefox Extension
