offline storage file format

[ziggyjr]

I was just wondering what file format Zimbra Desktop uses for its offline storage, msg, eml, mbox, pst ....?

Hmmm... been 8 month and still no answer and I still have not installed Zimbra because no one from Zimbra can answer a simple question.

Just curious, why does it matter? Or if it does matter, why not try it, and install it, and find out yourself?

Well it does matter. I am wanting an email client that does not store every single email as its own file on the hard drive. I want the client to store the emails in one file, kinda like what Outlook does with it's .pst file and Thunderbird does with it's mbox file that can be password protected.

I believe that if an email client stores every email as a separate file then that can lead to trouble because if your computer is hacked then anyone can read your email.

Hi ZiggyJr.,

Sounds like you need disk encryption for your laptop users running Zimbra Desktop.

BTW, pst files aren't encrypted, they are just binary, and very easy to hack.

Hope that helps,
