1020608 - Zimbra shared with external account

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: Infrastructure: Zimbra, task)

Description

[soap [:soap]]

I have a user who was given access to [e-mail] and wants to share it with his personal account [e-mail] and he needs it to work through Thunderbird. Trying to see if there is any work around for this. 

Andreas,

Please add your input here if my description isn't sufficient. Thanks!

Are you saying that you just want to receive mail from that DL sent to [e-mail]

Comment 2

[Ed Lim [:limed]]

Correction on the DL part, I meant shared mailbox.

What I would like to have is access to that shared mailbox with both Zimbra (which I already do) and IMAP (which I currently don't).

What's the status on this?

You already have access to the mailbox, there is nothing that I should need to do here. If you want to view the share in thunderbird you probably have to subscribe to the imap folder if it shows up for you in your mailbox

I looked at this a little more and tested this, unfortunately there no way for the share to show up in imap since thunderbird and gmail has no concept of what the share is. It looks like the share is basically just zimbra creating a guest account and allowing you to login to our zimbra instance.
