Initial Reactions

It's still plugging away at syncing the multiple thousands of email messages I have. One note is that the Desktop sync might not want to allow users to log in until the first synchronization is done. I am getting all manner of weird javascript errors when I am logged in mid-sync.

Yeah, syncing is very intensive.
What kind of errors are you seeing?

[quote user="goetzi"]I can affirm that.

While syncing (the initial sync is still running) these errors occur:

Also my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.3) hangs for ~10 seconds every 1-2 minutes.[/QUOTE]
Lot of errors like that. I am not seeing Freezes, but I am running on a mammoth box (Core 2 Duo 6600, 3GB RAM, 1TB Disk). It's using about 350MB right now.

What version of ZCS do you have?

Is there anything in common with these messages it's having trouble with?

Since I don't really know how to identify the message with the information "_496", I can't say something about that.

"_496" is a result of minimizing the code (which we do through rhino), which among other things converts local variable names into short names.
We're working on improving behavior during the large initial sync. We want the mailbox to be accessible during that time, which is possibly an ambitious goal. That's why we sync from new to old, so the user will see their most recent messages first. One thing we plan on doing is having the client ignore the flood of notifications that are generated by the sync; that should help with the load and the JS errors. Other errors we'll fix as we're able to reproduce them.

I installed Zimbra Desktop on OS X and it started synchronizing immediately. However, at first it seemed to synchronize only my inbox. Other folders were not present. Later on I noticed that it started showing other folders too. I think a better user experience would be to first download the folder hierarchy and show all folders and then download all messages.

4.5.2 (I think) OSS

One interesting new problem. I installed it on my laptop, and I am receiving javascript parent error messages. My Virus Checker (Symantic AntiVirus Notification) is also going nuts with Netsky viruses.
