DAWebmail

An open source Android client for Zimbra Webmail.

Overview

DAWebmail is an application developed for Zimbra Webmail users. This is the first exclusive Zimbra Webmail client for Android - Zimbra doesn't have an application of its own.

DAWebmail is currently being tested and used extensively in DA-IICT. The application has 1000 active users within the university. The application can be used by any organization that uses Zimbra as their email service, by changing a minimal number of Strings and URLs in the app configuration files.

• View & Read Webmails - Even when offline. All mails are stored locally and can be viewed even when not connected to a network
• Download webmail attachments
• Receive notifications - pull based mechanism, you can set data usage to lower the interval in which network calls are made to check for new webmails
• Send (without attachments), Delete, Multi Delete, Mark as read/unread
• Multiple Accounts - Switch between as many webmail accounts as you have
• A smartbox to view interesting statistics about your webmails.
