Can't navigate to new mobile client directly

[mmergen]

Howdy,

I am using zimbra 5.0.2

I figured something about the Mobile Client. The drop down menu at the
login page does not seem to be directing correctly.
To reproduce:
- go to login page in any browser.
- from the "which version would you like" drop down choose 'mobile'
-Enter credentials and log in

expected behavior: Mobile client appears.

actual behavior: Default client appears. (On most mobile devices, errors out due to size of page)

The only work around I have found is, after login with credentials, to add /m/ in the URL after zimbra. This will show the mobile client, but is a hassle, especially as the login page shows the mobile client as an option. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone found a way to fix it?



I have repro'd this in IE, Firefox, a Sidekick, WM5 device.

I had another user repro the issue for Mac OS X 10.5.2/Safari 3.0.4.
Same Mac user mentioned that the iPhone correcty loads the mobile client at all times.

I can't duplicate this on the latest 5.0.4 and I don't see anything in bugzilla about a problem like this. Do you have a test account I could login to and test this? Send me a PM with details if you want me to try.

Yup, I've seen this as well with Firefox on Linux, and both Firefox and IE on Windows. Currently running Zimbra FOSS 5.0.2. I've also seen a similar thing with trying to login to the Standard HTML client. We're not really using the Mobile or Standard HTML client much, so I haven't really had the chance to troubleshoot it. I just noticed the issue when I was doing some testing of the Mobile client.

Might have been this bug:

Bug 25214 - The mobile web interface doesn't work properly from http:// URL

which was fixed in 5.0.3/5.0.4.
