2.16. Quirks

2.16.1. Firefox specific

In this section we describe how to use the Zarafa WebAccess, the web-based interface of the Zarafa Collaboration Platform (ZCP).

In order to use the Zarafa WebAccess a fairly recent version of Mozilla Firefox (preferred) or Microsoft Internet Explorer is needed.

Currently the Zarafa WebAccess supports the most used features of Microsoft Outlook in a fairly comprehensive way. Yet a web-based interface can never match the functionality and usability of a native client (like Microsoft Outlook).

2.1. Basics

To login to the Zarafa WebAccess, point the browser to the URL supplied by the systems administrator. By default this URL will look like:

http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/webaccess/

The WebAccess is available in several languages which can be selected from the dialog shown on Abbildung 2.1, „The Zarafa login screen“.

Login screen

After logging in, all Outlook folders and the Public folders the account has access to can be accessed. The most basic functions are available from the WebAccess' toolbar found across the top of the page. See Abbildung 2.2, „The “New” Menu“.

Anmerkung

With regards to the folders, some functionality is only available in the context menu that appears when right clicking on the folder items.
