Task/Calendar reminders via email
You can set email reminders in addition to the normal pop-up reminders. To initially set this up initially, go to Preferences in Zimbra. Once there, click on Notifications on the left hand column. Enter your @newpaltz.edu address and click Save.
From now on, you can click a check box in the appointment or task window.
Task list enhancements
The task window is divided into "Past Due", "Upcoming" and "No Due Date" sections.
When you go into "Tasks" in Zimbra now, and create a new Task, you'll see the "Reminder" section. To setup a reminder for a task, click the check box next to reminder and set a date/time for the reminder.
When a reminder comes due (or next time you login after a reminder is due), there will be a pop-up message alerting you. You can 'snooze' the reminders similar to how you can with calendar reminders. The reminders will continue to come up until you click Dismiss or change the reminder date of the task.
Send Later
The Send Later feature can be used to send a message on a later date. To use it, compose a message as you normally would. When you're done, click on the black down facing arrow next to "Send" in the compose window (pointed to by the red arrow in the image below). Once you click that, you'll see the "Send Later" option.
You can then set a date and time for the message to be sent.
Change default print size
To change the default print size of text, click Preferences at the top of Zimbra then click General on the left hand column. You will see the Print Font Size setting. This can be raised or lowered to your preference. You may want to experiment with finding the best size for your uses.
Click Save at the top left when done.
Search for mail from/to an address
You can show all mail to or from a sender quickly. In the list of messages, right click on any name (in the "From" column). Go to Find Emails (indicated by the red circle) and you can choose either find emails Received From Sender or Sent To Sender (blue circle)
Click Save at the top left when done.
