I just installed Zimbra Desktop 2 Beta 2 since it was supposed to fix being able to use zimbra desktop for mailto handling and it is still not working on my pc, I am running vista business and only have ZD connected to my zimbra server account. Anyone else got this working? If so, what did you have to do to get it working?

I just installed zimbra Desktop Beta 3 on same setup Vista Business and same problem still, I am giving up hope that Zimbra is ever going to get this basic functionality working.

We actually are actively working on it. Orginally planed for a fix in beta 3, but ran into issues. Now it's targeted for next release, which is about a month from now.

Here is the bug opened: https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=37462

Looking for a little clarification here. Bug 37462 seems to address adding functionality to ZD so that a Windows user can either right-click on a document or within certain applications (MS Office for one) click File and select "Send To --> Mail Recipient" and it will work with ZD. There is also the issue of allowing a Windows user to set ZD as the default e-mail program, which would then open a "Compose" message window in ZD when a user clicks on a "mailto:" link within an email message, web page, etc. To me these are two different functions. Does bug 37462 address both things?

yup, for Windows 7 and Vista, this bug should resolve both.

btw, mailto handling is already working on windows xp...

Thanks for the clarification. From following the forums and with my own experience I got the feeling that the "mailto:" handling thing is a Windows Vista / 7 issue, while the "Send To --> Mail Recipient" is new functionality. That's why I thought it was two separate issues. But if you say bug 37462 will fix them both then I'll take your word on it

Thanks again,
John
