Maximizer-like feature wishlist

[splee]

Hi,

My first impression of Zimbra is that it looks very promising! Many of my clients are deparately wanting to break away from Maximizer and ACT! The 2 main features they REALLY need are the ability to attach emails and files to contacts and to be able to start a local application to view a file or attachment. I know that Zimbra has Tags but can the contact list be used as a predefined list of tags such that they can be applied to specific email messages? Will there be a file manager with the ability to tag contacts to them as well?

Thanks,
Stephen

Well let's turn the first use case around a little. A simple search on "from:kevin" will return all the e-mail from kevin. You can also search on domain/company like "from:@zimbra.com". Either of these can be saved searches. So by default you already get contacts tied to e-mail and a bunch of simple searches to pull this data out.

We don't have file/document sharing yet but it's something we plan to add in the future.

Is there the ability to share these searches? Ideally, users would be able to click on a contact (obviously shared contact list) and have the whole history including messages, notes and documents available. I realize you don't have notes and document sharing available yet but this is a wish list

We don't have shared searches. This would really depend on shared folders if the mail/contacts also need to be shared.
