Mozilla Firefox 2.0
Mozilla Firefox 3.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0
Apple Safari 3
Note:
To ensure compatibility between Oracle Beehive Webmail Client and other Oracle Beehive applications on your machine, verify that you are using a supported browser and version, and a supported Windows or Mac operating system.Before you start using Oracle Beehive Webmail, you must first log in to the application using your Web browser.
This section includes the following topics:
You can access Oracle Beehive Webmail through your Internet browser (if you have an existing Oracle Beehive mail profile). Typically, the URL for Oracle Beehive Webmail will match the following structure:
http://<Your-Server-Name>:<Port-Number>/zimbra/
Note:
To know your organization's URL for Oracle Beehive Webmail, contact your system administrator.You can also access Oracle Beehive Webmail through the list of applications on Oracle Beehive Central. You must provide your Oracle Beehive credentials for authentication.
To sign in to Oracle Beehive Webmail:
Access Oracle Beehive Webmail as described in Accessing Oracle Beehive Webmail.
At the Log In screen, enter your Username and Password. (See User name and Password.)
Click Log In.
Your company will have assigned you specific credentials to access Oracle Beehive Webmail. Your user name is typically your e-mail address. Check with your Oracle Beehive system administrator for your assigned password.
In 2.0, Oracle Beehive Webmail adds enhanced search functionality which simplifies basic e-mail searches and provides advanced search options.
This section includes the following topics:
Oracle Beehive Webmail provides more options when narrowing search results. You can search multiple folders in one operation, as well as sort search results easier, with greater consistency.
When searching your messages, you can narrow your search results by combining multiple basic search fields such as To or Cc, From, Subject, in additon to Content.
Oracle Beehive Webmail also makes it easier to broaden your search. You can expand the scope of your search by searching multiple folders without changing the current folder then re-executing the search. Your search results will automatically show all matching e-mail messages from all folders in a single search.
Oracle Beehive Webmail offers e-mail delegation as a way to provide read/write access to another user's e-mails when the owner delegates permission. You can grant read or write permissions to a selected user or multiple users in Oracle Beehive Webmail. See also the sections "Delegate Permission to Others to Access and Manage your Calendar" and "Delegate Permission to Others to Access and Manage Address Books."
Note:
Delegation must be granted using either Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or Oracle Beehive Central. For information on how to select a delegate and grant permission, see the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help or Oracle Beehive Central Help.Oracle Beehive Webmail introduces new Global Address List features and address book functionality that extend search and sort capabilities to your contacts.
This section includes the following topics:
Oracle Beehive Webmail provides a faster way to search the Global Address List and add users and groups. You can use the Global Address List when composing an e-mail, adding attendees while creating an appointment, or creating a group contact. Global Address List users and groups can also be members of a group contact in any other address book.
When you click To, Cc, or Bcc in a new e-mail message or click Find Attendees when creating an appointment, you can search the Global Address List based on a user's e-mail or phone number, in addition to any portion of the user's family name, given name, middle name, or nickname. You can search for a group in the Global Address List by the group's name or e-mail address. Groups without an e-mail address are shown as <collabid>@invalid.e-mail
.
You can use the auto-complete feature in Oracle Beehive Webmail whenever you address an e-mail message, add meeting attendees, or create a group contact. Auto-complete is a faster and more efficient way of automatically searching for users and groups in the Global Address List without opening a separate search window.
When you begin to type a user's or group's name in the To, Cc, or Bcc field of a new e-mail message, add attendees to a calendar meeting, or search for a contact, a list of all possible matches appears.
Note:
For more information about the auto-complete feature in the Oracle Beehive Webmail Client, see the section “Automatic address completion” in the Zimbra Online Help.Oracle Beehive offers address book delegation as a way to provide read/write access to another user's address book when the owner delegates permission. Only read access is currently available through address book sharing. You can use delegation to extend write permission to a selected user or multiple users. See also "Delegate Permission to Others to Access and Manage your Calendar."
Note:
Delegation must be granted using either Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or Oracle Beehive Central. For information on how to select a delegate and grant permission, see the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help or Oracle Beehive Central Help.In 2.0, Oracle Beehive Webmail enhances address book sorting functionality to make it easier to organize your contacts.
In Oracle Beehive Webmail, you can sort contacts by their display name. By default, the contact's last name is displayed first. The names are sorted in alphabetical order as determined by the language used. Sorting functionality may vary slightly from one language to another.
To further enhance calendar management, Oracle Beehive supports the following new features in Oracle Beehive Webmail 2.0:
Delegate Permission to Others to Access and Manage your Calendar
(UNKNOWN STEP NUMBER) Create and Join Oracle Beehive Online Conferences
Oracle Beehive Webmail enhances calendar management by providing the ability to tag and search events in your calendar.
Click the Calendar tab.
On your calendar, select an event you want to tag. If the event is part of a series, the tag is applied to all events in the series.
With the event selected, from the left menu, click Tags and select an existing tag. Alternatively, click the tag icon on the toolbar and select an existing tag, or select New Tag.
Note:
The Tag icons are not shown on shared items (shared folders or links) even though the items are tagged and viewable by the owner.From the Calendar tab, select a calendar containing the tags you want to search.
In the search box, enter a keyword to search tags. A tag search will search across both calendar items and tasks lists.
When scheduling meetings to discuss sensitive, personal, or confidential topics, you can alert attendees to use discretion by designating those meetings as Private. You may also have appointments on your calendar that you want to keep private if you delegate another user to manage your calendar. When meetings are no longer sensitive, or become open to a broader attendance, you can change the designation back to Public. These options are in addition to the available Normal, Personal, and Confidential options.
Use this feature when you create, or modify events to make them Public or Private, or share your calendar containing sensitive content. Meeting recipients can view events as Private or Public in Oracle Beehive Webmail, as well as in other Oracle Beehive-supported time management applications. Private events are shown with a lock icon on the top right corner of the event.
To create a meeting/appointment as a private or public event:
Click the Calendar tab.
On your calendar, create an appointment either by clicking New on the toolbar, or right-clicking and selecting New Appointment or New All Day Appointment. Alternatively, double-click a day and time on your calendar.
Enter information for the meeting, and click the arrow next to Mark as: to select Private or Public. If you want to create a meeting, continue with Step 5.
Click OK to finish creating the appointment.
Click More Details... to add attendees and meeting details. You can also mark the meeting as Private or Public from the Appointment Details tab.
Add the other information for the meeting as required.

To share your calendar with a designated sensitivity:
Click the Calendar tab.
Right-click Calendar, and select Share Calendar.
In the Share Properties dialog box, select or clear the option Allow user(s) to see my private appointments.
When finished, click OK.
Oracle Beehive provides shared calendar management to extend permissions to delegates for your calendar events. Granting a delegate permission to your calendar gives the user read or write access to your calendar when you delegate permission. Since only read access is currently available through calendar sharing, you can use delegation to extend write permission to a selected user. See also the section "Delegate Permission to Others to Access and Manage Address Books."
Note:
Delegation must be granted using either Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or Oracle Beehive Central. For information on how to select a delegate and grant permission, see the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook Online Help, or Oracle Beehive Central Help.Oracle Beehive Webmail provides the ability to create and join Oracle Beehive online conferences.

An Oracle Beehive workspace is a virtual location where Oracle Beehive users collaborate and create, view, manage, and search for content related to their collaborative efforts. Workspaces are created and modified using Oracle Beehive Team Collaboration. You can also manage workspace content and add workspaces you are already a member of, using Oracle Beehive Extensions for Explorer.
For more information about Workspaces, see the Oracle Beehive Team Collaboration Help.
In Oracle Beehive Webmail, you can create a link to a shared workspace e-mail folder, address book, calendar, or task list. You can also invite a team workspace to a meeting. When you invite a workspace to a meeting, all the workspace participants will automatically receive the meeting invitation.

While the folder name Drafts remains unchanged, Sent Items was called Sent and Junk E-mail was called Junk in previous versions of Oracle Beehive Webmail.
In both Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook and Oracle Beehive Webmail, mail saved to the Sent Items folder can be seen in both applications. This occurs whether sending mail from either application. Similarly, mail marked as Junk
in either Oracle Beehive Webmail, or Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook is moved to the Junk E-mail folder in both applications.
As part of the folder synchronization feature, Oracle Beehive Webmail checks that each of the three folders, Sent Items, Junk E-mail, and Drafts, exist in the system. If any of the folders are not present, Oracle Beehive Webmail creates the non-existent folder(s).
Following are a few additional features and tips that are not described in the Zimbra Online Help.
This section includes the following topics:
You can download a zimlet (third-party plug-in application) that allows you to drag and drop files directly from your computer (Windows PC or Mac) to a new e-mail message in Oracle Beehive Webmail. You must be using the Mozilla Firefox browser to use this zimlet and Firefox extension.
The following steps describe how to download the extension on a Firefox browser.
To download the Firefox Extension for drag-and-drop functionality:
Verify that you are using Mozilla Firefox as your Web browser.
Navigate to the Zimbra Gallery:
http://
gallery.zimbra.com/gallery.php?act=viewProd&productId=68
Follow instructions on the Zimbra Gallery Web site to download the Firefox extension ZimbraDnD.xpi
for this zimlet.
Note:
Contact your system administrator for help with installing this zimlet and Firefox extension. Once installed, your system administrator must enable the zimlet in your Oracle Beehive Webmail account preferences.After your system administrator has enabled the zimlet, the drag-and-drop zimlet will appear in your Oracle Beehive Webmail Overview pane under Zimlets.
With a new e-mail message (Compose) window open, select a file and drag and drop it into the open window.
Whenever you make changes to preferences in your Oracle Beehive Webmail address book, save your changes, then log off, and then log on again.
It is necessary to log off and log on again because the application may not reload your settings dynamically. Thus, your changes will not take effect until after logging back on when all preferences are reloaded.
To ensure your address book preferences take effect:
On the upper right of your Oracle Beehive Webmail Web page, click Log Out.
Log on, then open your address book. Your preferences should now reflect your changes.
The Beehive Webmail Client displays all time based information using the time zone set on your desktop. To avoid confusion, use the same settings for your desktop time zone and the time zone in your Beehive Webmail Client. See the Beehive Webmail Client Online Help for more information on setting time zone in the Beehive Webmail Client.
The time zone setting in Beehive Central is used for meeting reminders and notifications. See the Oracle Beehive Central Online Help for more information on time zone setting in Oracle Beehive Central.
The section includes the following troubleshooting topics and limitations:
My address book displays the incorrect number of contacts on each page
Why am I unable to view/ modify a team workspace event with groups?
When you open an exception to a recurring meeting series in Oracle Beehive Webmail, the recurrence rule is not displayed. While not unexpected, this functionality is inconsistent with Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, which does display the recurrence rules to an exception in a series.
If you have used various Oracle Beehive clients to defined document sharing, some documents or folders of the sharer's Personal Workspace, which were not explicitly shared, may not be accessible. Oracle Beehive recommends using the Oracle Beehive Webmail client when sharing documents or folders with other Oracle Beehive Webmail users. You can also use the Access Control Center in Oracle Beehive Central to define sharing permissions.
Note:
Revoking share privileges can have unexpected results if the target user is signed in to Oracle Beehive Webmail at the time of revoking the share privileges. In such cases, new share properties will be updated the next time the target user signs in.When setting preferences to display a certain number of contacts per page, search results may show a different page range. For example, if the preference is set at 100 contacts per page, the first page of results may be 1-59, and the second page may show 101-118. Additionally, contacts on subsequent pages may be duplicates to those shown on the first page.
When attempting to add a group by typing the group's e-mail as an attendee to an existing team workspace event, the team workspace e-mail appears as an external attendee with no corresponding event in the team workspace calendar. Similarly, when an existing event is viewed in a team workspace calendar, no team workspace attendees are shown in the attendee area.
Note:
If you are not a member of a team workspace, how you view and modify team workspace events may be different, depending on which time management application you are using. This process is not specific to Oracle Beehive Webmail, and occurs using any other Oracle Beehive-supported time management application, whenever the user is not a member of the team workspace.This section contains information on the known issues in Oracle Beehive Webmail. The issues are grouped by related items:
This section describes the following related issues:
Bug 7153295. This is a base bug created to track all related known issues requiring further improvements in the (non-Oracle) code to further customize the Beehive Webmail Client user interface for integration with Oracle Beehive.
Bug 7597384. When a browser's language preference is set to a non-English language, the Beehive Webmail Client user interface does not translate some English characters in e-mail messages to the specified language.
Bug 14174731, 14174031. MS Windows Server 2008: normal (non-admin) user cannot connect to online support and issues using some Beehive components. This is generic to all web clients accessed from Internet Explorer 9 on Windows Server 2008 using the default Internet settings. To avoid this issue, add the Oracle Beehive host to the list of Trusted Sites. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options. Under the Security tab, select Trusted sites and click Sites. Add the Oracle Beehive server website as a trusted site.
This section describes the following related issues:
Oracle Beehive Webmail Does Not Display Undeleted E-Mail Messages in Sorted Order
Oracle Beehive Webmail Adds Blank Contact if Added from E-Mail VCard Attachment
Oracle Beehive Webmail Unable to Read Delivery Service Notification E-Mail
Oracle Beehive Webmail May Return Different “Withdrawn” Notifications
Oracle Beehive Webmail Does Not Provide Option to Send E-Mail Messages with Priority
Sorting Options on Search Results Limited/Unpredictable in Oracle Beehive Webmail
Oracle Beehive Webmail Personal Contacts Search Limited to Name and E-Mail Only
Oracle Beehive Webmail Does Not Support Sorting on Recipients in the Sent Items Folder
Email Tooltip Displays "This Message Is Empty" For E-Mails With HTML Text Only
Bug 8435267. If a user manually moves messages to Inbox, Sent Items, Trash, or Drafts folders, the messages will appear at the top for a period of one hour, after which they will be sorted correctly. This is intended behavior due to caching in Oracle Beehive Webmail. While caching can be turned off, it will significantly degrade performance, and is not recommended.
Bug 8420636. The Drafts folder in Oracle Beehive Webmail displays the total number of messages next to the folder in the left pane and not the unread messages in the folder. This is because the concept of unread/read messages does not exist for the Drafts folder. For the other folders, Inbox, Sent Items, and Junk E-mails, the total number of unread messages in displayed next to the folder in the left pane.
Bug 8201399. A blank contact <no name>
appears as a new contact in the Oracle Beehive Webmail address book when the contact is added from an e-mail VCard (VCF) attachment.
Bug 7650398. Unreadable Delivery Service Notifications may be received. Typically, users should be able to view these types of notifications.
Bug 7614719. E-mail messages received as Withdrawn notifications may vary, and may be received as a new meeting containing This withdrawn notification mail includes:
or titled Meeting Withdrawn.
Bug 7419106. There is currently no option in Oracle Beehive Webmail that allows users to send an e-mail message with a priority flag.
Bug 7259976. For content and free-form searches, search results may be limited to relevance, and searching by date received may be unsuccessful. For users searching meta data, the default sort criteria is most recent first. However, custom sorting is currently implemented.
Bug 7228173. A search on criteria other than a name or e-mail for a contact in a user's personal contacts in Oracle Beehive Webmail yields no results. Users should be able to search personal contacts for other searchable criteria, such as the city in an address, or a phone number.
Bug 7228036. If a user views, for example, the third page of an e-mail while new messages arrive and deletes messages from the current page, then messages are duplicated in the folder list on the current page. Pagination should respond to the new messages and re-adjust the current display accordingly. This occurs only if no new messages arrive at the same time.
Bug 7259780. There is currently no option in Oracle Beehive Webmail that allows users to sort e-mails by recipients in the Sent items folder. Using this option displays incorrect results.
Bug 8577888. If an e-mail contains HTML text only and no plain text, the e-mail tooltip displays "This message is empty" even though the e-mail message has content present in it. This is a known limitation with Oracle Beehive Webmail.
