My goal is to search my huge webmail with more then 2000 email with attachments.
It seems that Zimbra webmail search doesnt give results in GUI mode. Sometimes it works but shows only unread mail.
In programatic mode I didnt have luck.
My question is how to perform search in Zimbra webmail (Show some example)
My second question is if there is any material about zimbra webmail search (but not their official materials because they are not usefull to me)
Well... I don't quite understand, what your problem exactly is. I find it quite easy to search in Zimbra. Just enter a term and Zimbra searches in the subject, mail text and addresses.
You can add wildcards (*) to search for partial words.
Besides this, you can add tags to search for specific things. For example, to search for all mails, that Mike sent to you, you'd search for "from:mike". (These tags are all quite well documented in Zimbra's online help)
The same query language is used programmatically (for example in SearchRequest-Api calls).

I am trying to get our iSeries 6.1 machine to send email through our Exchange server. I can do it with SNDDST and with SNDSMTPEMM, but both are very limiting. I need support for basic HTML, and for PDF attachments. I thought I could get them both from SNDSMTPEMM, but now I see that the body parameter for SNDSMTPEMM (NOTE) is limited to 400 characters. Is it possible that this command allows 10 attachments but less than a paragraph of text?
I would like to know if anyone is using this command, and if I am missing something about it that would allow me to create an actual email message.
If indeed I can't put more than 400 characters into the body of an email with this command, I have read about MMAIL and MAILTOOL and I am curious if anyone knows if this message length restriction exists for those as well?
It will be a very hard sell for our main programmer to install any third-party anything to get this working, so I would love to be able to do it with SNDDST of SNDSMTPEMM (or some other built in I haven't found yet).
I don't currently need to be able to send to multiple recipients, but I do need to be able to attach a couple of attachments (where SNDDST fails for me). I also can't use attachments with an *LMSG.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this kind of post - I find it very difficult to find the right place.
The SNDSMTPEMM command is indeed limited to 400 characters in the message body, according to the documentation.
Where I work, we still mainly use MMAIL, which used to be free but now requires a $50 "donation" (and lots of hoops to jump through just to register). It doesn't have that message length limitation. It comes with several commands for ease of use, and a service program for more fine-grained control over how the message is built. Once you download it, you have access to the source, so you can really muck around with it if you have to. (The donation also allows you to download a multitude of other utilities from Easy400.net.)
A better but more expensive option is Bradley Stone's MAILTOOL. It's still competitively priced, as far as commercial IBM midrange software goes. If you go that route, it's probably worth getting the Plus! add-on, which side-steps IBM's native SMTP, a recurring source of headaches. (MMAIL and the basic MAILTOOL rely on native SMTP.)
The best place for this kind of post, at least for now, is the Midrange-L mailing list at midrange.com. When it comes to AS/400, iSeries, and IBM i stuff, that community is currently much more active than Stack Overflow, and they welcome open-ended discussion and "what do you recommend?" posts, which are discouraged here. You can find some discussion on the command you mentioned, and some alternatives, in this thread.
I have a problem. We've designed some beautiful, responsive email templates that work across mobile/tablet using media queries but contain MSO conditionals to work on Outlook. Turns out, the client now claims they can only send through an exchange-based mailing list. Ouch.
Problem:
If I send from Mac OSX's Mail, it retains the media queries and works (they are then stripped in Outlook when opened by receiver, but that's inevitable)
If I send from Outlook, it strips media queries completely and sends without them
From my thinking, the only solutions are:
Distribute through a different email client that supports both viewport media queries such as Mac Mail and allows connection to Exchange (know any? Thunderbird?)
Somehow obtain the mailing list and distribute through MailChimp or similar
Appreciate any advice anyone may have.
Depends on how good you care in code and whether you'll need clients to access your system. You can go with user friendly, feature packed options like Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor.
Much cheaper but less featured (relies heavily on you integrating through their api) is Sendgrid
If you want to stick to free, PHPList might be a good option.
Our site generates several emails per day, a lot of which can contain awkward links, such as http://company/process/task?id=1234-4123-2352-1234&user=xyz...
Consequently I have been sending text only emails, on the suspicion that they will be treated more 'fairly' by email filters along the way. I cannot afford to lose emails to clients.
Lately I have been wanting to add more content to the outbound email. This is causing problems, as text-only emails start looking really ugly, really quickly when content builds up.
My question is simple... Do I face any risk moving to HTML based emails, especially if I generate awkward links that are then 'hidden' under cleaner looking href links?
You should use multipart/alternative emails to send HTML and Text in the same email. In order to make sure you get treated fairly by SPAM filters, make sure the text content of the two formats is nearly identical.

Has anyone does this successfully? I searched a lot but didn't find anything which worked. Before spending time myself, I just want to ask if someone has done this and would be willing to share it. :)
For example, I would like to email the agenda to myself daily, reminders when a task is nearing deadline, etc.
If you're looking for a separate non-emacs application that will integrate well with emacs in org-mode, I would say no, you're probably not not going to find anything. If you really like the emacs way of doing things, I would suggest trying out Gnus for your email. If you've ever used any of the old terminal based emails, it's a pretty similar interface. It has POP and IMAP support, so you can get your email from exchange servers and gmail.
If you're using capture in org-mode (see http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-capture.html#Using-capture), you can easily add a Todo item (or really anything) with a link back to the email, and switching between your email and agenda views becomes seamless.

I would like to write a plug-in that will allow a custom written CRM to read and write to their local Outlook client. I know that this poses a security concern. But, my clients are asking that their CRM "be connected" to Outlook. They would like to be able to do the following:
A) When a contact sends them an email (reply or free standing email), they'd like the details of this email to go INTO the CRM. Yep. They would like me to save the body, time and date it was sent, etc.
B) They want to be able to send new emails (or replies to existing emails) from within the CRM itself. Basically, "a form that looks like Outlook's send/reply email form".
C) Want the ability to search for contacts and the related emails with a search for tags/keywords facility. (i.e. if a product name or code appears in an email then they want the email returned in the search).
D) Having performed a search of many contacts, they will want to prepare a mailer and shoot out some sort of email announcement to their qualified leads. This could be 50, 100, or more persons. So its got to be able to allow bulk mailing.
E) Given a list of new prospects, that arent currently contacts in the CRM, they will want to do the same and if they get replies from this mailer to the prospects, the will want the replies to be saved in the DB and contacts be inserted into the DB.
F) They would like to be able to utilize the calendar and task list facilities of Outlook from the CRM, as well.
More or less, they want this pretty basic (as it is today) CRM that I created to integrate with Outlook and have it do so seamlessly as if it was an add-on to the CRM. A plug-in is what I am thinking...
But, I dont know where to begin. My environment is Windows XP/Vista and is going to be ASP.NET and I am going to use the VB.NET language to accomplish this. What do I need? Are there resources out there that can describe how to build a plug-in to Outlook as I have been asked to? This is not Exchange, none of the clients use exchange (not so far). They all run Outlook. Mostly 2003. Most clients are XP right now but some are upgrading to Vista.
For some reason I cant seem to wrap my head around this. I think the whole security issue is thwarting my ability to see past what is probably a simple thing. The client doesnt want to be prompted by any security messages asking them if they are sure they want to send 382 emails to their contacts. Not once and certainly not 382 times.
Where do I begin? I've searched the internet for similar but mainly what I found are already-written products and I've got to write this from scratch.
I was part of the team that created the original Outlook Plug-In for Frankley Covey time management tools. It was quite an adventure!
The first thing I would do is make your client pick a version of Outlook, and stick with it. DO NOT let the client add support for additional Outlook versions, unless they are willing to pay for it, and willing to have the delivery time pushed back to a reasonable date.
The team I was with swore by the Slipstick website. There are several solutions to the Outlook security prompts in there.
If you can, talk to Microsoft and see if they can get you the object model for the specific version of Outlook you will be working with. We had this model printed on a large scale color printer and put it on a large wall. IIRC, it was something like 7'x5' object map. This helped tons.
You might end up creating specific classifications/namespaces for your Outlook code. It's been a while, but I remember something about a dot notation like .Email, .Task, and several others. I had to create a couple new dot namespaces for the Outlook Task object.
As razorfish noted, look up the new Visual Studio For Office Tools. This has made some stuff a lot easier.
Talk to your client and find out if they will need to connect to Exchange servers. There were two distinct ways of building Plug-ins. One mode only worked with Outlook itself, while the other talked with Exchange. This is very important to your development efforts. The models are VERY different and will cost you extra time if you pick the wrong one.
EDIT: There are a couple books that were helpful with this. The books are for Outlook 2000, so you might want to see if there are updated versions.
Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2000 Technical Reference
Building Applications using Outlook 2000, CDO, Exchange, and Visual Basic
Both have a lot of information on how to do deep integrations with Outlook.
You should take a look at the Visual Studio for Office Tools. You can easily create add-ins for Outlook, Word, Excel ... pretty much the entire Microsoft Office family of products.
You can also take a look at Add-In Express, but I didn't have much luck with their controls, and the VSTO for 2008 is extremely easy to use.
