3. Grouping mail conversations.
Message view and Conversation view depict the rules as to how messages show up in your inbox.
Message view is the default view of your email. Switching to Conversation view groups all of your ongoing replies and replied to messages so it is easy to step through messages despite the date.
To enable Conversation view, left click on ‘View’ in the top toolbar and select ‘By Conversation.’

When composing an email you have to manually click on ‘Spell Check’ in the menu above your message. In order to make Zimbra auto-spell check similar to Outlook – you must be using Firefox. This browser auto-spell checks for you.
