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

Just a quick note: not all the features listed are features of the Open Source version.  Consult the product comparison map on the Zimbra website to see which capabilities each verson has.


 Having said that, it seems to be worth it, especially the calendaring is very powerful.  Thanks for the HOWTO, it saves a lot of time!
