Here is a resume:

Version 2.0 released with major changes!

What's new :
-Files are not anymore in a single txt file :
The zimlet save now a zip file in which there is 2 folders :
The first contains txt and html files, one for each mail saved.
The second contains the attachments files.
-The zimlet now works for folders (dnd and right click).
-An option was added in the preferences to choose to save messages from trash or not.


Since few are confused with the goal of the zimlet, I precise that this zimlet is not for backup, it don't save raw mails. You can't import in zimbra the result of a save.

Is this zimlet available on you website ?

I just corriged a bug with the save of mails that have the same attachements names. For those who already downloaded the zimlet, you must download and install it again, sorry.

This is not working for me.

When I right click the zimlet I get the screen to save various folders, but if I double I click I don't get the settings menu and when I drag something to the Zimlet, it doesn't acknowledge the file.

It imported without any issues.

I am running on 5.0.6 Network Edition on Ubuntu x64 6.06.2

God Bless,

Is anyone having the same issue as Protack?
That really weird, because usually, if there is an error in the property editor or the drag source definition, you shouldn't be able to see the zimlet at all.

Protack, can you install firebug and look if you have any error?

I found my issue. I had another Zimlet that was causing some issues with you Zimlet. When the SalesForce Zimlet is enabled but not configured, it causes issues with the Wikipedia Zimlet, the Yahoo Maps Zimlet and your Zimlet. As soon as I disable it in COS, all the above mentioned Zimlets work properly.

Thank you for your help.

God Bless,
Marty

For a single e-mail with attachements, i only have a .txt file, and attachements are not saved...
