Several folks have noted that their contacts are not immediately showing up in the new Communication Center. Unfortunately, address books (much like locally stored email) can't be automatically imported from your mail client.  Even if your mail is stored on the server, your address book is not. If you are a faculty or staff member with a College computer, we'll help out with this (and your locally stored email) when we come around to do your desktop transition (see http://www.brynmawr.edu/is/isir/understanding.shtml to learn more). If you're using a personal computer, or you need this in the Web client sooner than your transition date, ... Read more»

By default, Zimbra will show you only 25 messages at a time.  In the upper right-hand corner, you will see a n indicator of total number of messages (i.e. 1-25 of 500).  The arrows here will allow you to navigate to see more messages, or you can use the search bar at the top to quickly search your email. Tip:  In Preferences, on the Mail tab, you can change how many messages you see at one time (up to 100).  Be sure to click Save to make this change.
