Getting started with the Zimbra Webmail Client
The Zimbra Web Client (ZWC) is a full-featured messaging and collaboration application that offers reliable, high-performance email, address books, calendaring, task lists, and Web document authoring capabilities. The ZWC has two versions:
- Advanced Web Client offers the full set of Ajax-based Web collaboration features. The advanced Web client works with newer browsers and faster Internet connections.
- Standard Web Client is a good option when internet connections are slow or users prefer HTML-based messaging for navigating within their mailbox.
The main ZWC components are Email, Address Book, Calendar, Tasks, Documents and Briefcase. User Preferences and Zimbra Assistant are also powerful ZWC features. The features of each component are included in the following table.

The Zimbra Web Client is designed to work within an Internet browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Macintosh Safari are three of the most popular. Follow these general guidelines when using the Zimbra Web Client within a browser:
- The browser's Back button takes you to the previous page you were viewing. You can also use the Forward button.
- To log off, click on the Log Out button. If you browse to a different site without logging out first, your session may remain active until it times out. If you share a computer, other users can access your account while the session is still active.
- Do not use the browser's Reload (Refresh) button. Doing so will restart your session.
