There is a work around to gain some of this functionality back. Zimbra also added some more intuitive features regarding keyboard shortcuts specific to email tagging, saved searches, general navigation within the web client, and folder views.

Here is how to fix your commonly used keyboard shortcuts:

• Rename commonly used folders with a number that corresponds to your shortcut.

Using the example above I had a custom shortcut for “1″ set to my “archive” folder. Now I simply change the name of this folder to “1archive”.

To save mail to this folder I can hit “m” wait for moment for the “Move Message” box to appear and type “1″. You should simply have to hit return to save your mail message into that folder.

Caveats:

• If you have more than one folder starting with that number you will need to type additional keys to specify your destination. In the above example typing “1a” should generally be sufficient.

• I found that you may have to restart your browser and mail session after renaming the folders for this to function properly.

Tips for the how Zimbra 6 handles shortcuts:

• Type “mm” to quicken the “Move Message” process. Since “m” command is used for more than one feature “m, r” mark message read and “m,u” mark message unread, “m,f” mark flag/unflag, and “m,j” mark as junk. Type “mm” and you will see no pause getting to the pop-up dialog box.

• One of my favorite features is found by typing “Ctrl q” which pops up a complete list of shortcuts in an easy to read window. Simply hit “Esc” to remove the window. Quick and easy!
