Hi,
I have a client which has migrated on Zimbra there is 1 month and use only the webmail (no mail client).
There is ~50 users and they use IE11/Firefox/Chrome.
They work on 2008R2 RDS server, a part of them (~ 5 users) work localy on Windows 10.
Local IT manager asks me if we can define Zimbra webmail as default mail client (I know that a webmail isn't an email client, it is a website...).
After discussions, we decided to define Zimbra webmail only on Firefox and Chrome.
So I look for a solution to set up Zimbra webmail as default mail client throught GPO (for mailto links among others).
I searched a solution on the web but I didn't find good solutions.
Have you an idea ? A solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
IMHO the best way is to use an external tool (ZimbraNotifier by Habitech) that relies on the MAPI layer.
It allows to intercept "mailto:", use the "send mail to" feature in Office and other windows apps, allows drag'n'drop, etc. Iit also has a reminder (calendar) feature.

I solved this by using ADMX for Chrome and Firefox; you can define mailto handler easly :
For Chrome :
For Chrome :
For Firefox :[{"url":"https://zimbra.contoso.com/?view=compos ... ","default": true,"protocol":"mailto"}]
And create this reg key :{"schemes":{"mailto":{"action":"useHelperApp","ask":false,"handlers":[{"name":"zimbra.contoso.com","uriTemplate":"https://zimbra.contoso.com/?view=compose&to=%s"}]}}}
