How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu - Page 3

4 The Zimbra Web Interface

Zimbra comes with a web interface for the administrator (https://mail.example.com:7071/zimbraAdmin) and normal users (http://mail.example.com). I'm going to show some basic screenshots here, but no help on how to use Zimbra. To learn how to use Zimbra, please refer to http://www.zimbra.com/community/documentation.html and http://wiki.zimbra.com.

4.1 The Administration Console

You can now open a browser and open the Zimbra Administrator web interface. The URL is https://mail.example.com:7071/zimbraAdmin. Log in with the username admin and the password you specified during the Zimbra installation:

This is how the admin panel looks like:

You can find all pre-configured email addresses under Accounts:

If you want to add a new domain (e.g. example.com because you want email addresses of the form [email protected] instead of [email protected]), click on Domains and then on New:

Create example.com:

Afterwards, example.com is listed in the domains list:

To create a new user, go to Accounts and click on New:

Follow the wizard to create a new email account. Take care that you select the right domain (example.com vs. mail.example.com):

Afterwards, mark the new account in the accounts list and click on Edit:

Specify a password for the new account on the General Information tab and click on Save:

4.2 The User Webinterface

Now that you've created a normal user account, you can log out of the admin panel and go to http://mail.example.com. Log in with the email address and the password of the new account:

This is how the user webinterface looks like. You have tabs to manage your emails, address book, calendar, documents, etc.

5 Uninstall Zimbra

If you want to uninstall Zimbra, do it like this:

Go the the Zimbra installation directory (I hope you didn't delete it):

cd /usr/src/zcs 

Then run

./install.sh -u

and delete the Zimbra installation directory afterwards:

cd /usr/src
rm -rf zcs
