[SOLVED] Back button!

[amertner]

I have played with the web demo, and the main annoyance is that the browser's back button doesn't take me to what I was doing before, but leaves the Zimbra client.

If I can't use the back button, how can I go back? Say I'm viewing a message and then need to check something in Options - how do I get back to my message?

Thanks

Hi-
Zimbra is a web application. So, clicking the back button is a lot like closing the window.

In 5.0, we introduce back-forward button support.

in 4.5, you click the mail tab, or the cancel button.

I understand the difficulties of developing a web app, but the problem is real - my users would get lost without the ability to "go back", particularly because the navigation offered by Zimbra is so rich.

For example, if I look at an email and click on the date, it takes me to the calendar view. However, there is no way to get back to the email I was looking at - clearly not good.

Will the new v5 feature include the ability to do this? How will it work?

Thanks!

Understandable

5.0 will solve that issue. You can dl a beta if you want and give it a try.
