I'm trying to use the REST zimbra interface and all works well but message I receive are hard to understand.

Is there any documentation about such messages ?

Tks

There is a documentation for REST in source code repository, ZimbraServer/docs/rest.txt.
But I am not sure if it could help you.

So how about showing the messages you've got to us here.

This is a "typical" message I get

Re: script cache pin

Scusate, ho sbagliato destinatari. -- Messaggio originale --

Quite cryptic.

Is there any explanation ?

I guess you have already got it.

But the response format looks xml(SOAP).

So ZimbraServer/docs/soap.txt can help you.

You shold check "GetMsgRequest" or "AddMsgRequest".
Or you can change the format.

You better check this out for that:

My question is very easy I see tags named , , etc... and I shoud immagine what they mean.

Where can I find the meaning ?

XML format is god for me.

Another question You told me about a directory in the server I can't access : where can I find such docs in the net ?

On your server the docs are in /opt/zimbra/docs
And indeed, the result you get is from SOAP API, not REST API.

Part of the reason for this is simply try and minimize amount of xml transmitting. e generally is envelope, m is message, etc. As mentioned by others, look at the SOAP description to figure it out.
