How to alter column size in zimbra mail
To alter the column size in Zimbra Mail, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Zimbra Web Interface
- Log in to your Zimbra account using the web interface.
- Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Display" section and click on the "Column settings" button.
- In the "Column settings" page, you can adjust the width of each column by dragging the border between the column headers to the desired width.
- Click "Save" to save your changes.
Method 2: Using the Zimbra CLI (Command-Line Interface)
-
Open a terminal or command prompt and connect to your Zimbra server using the CLI.
-
Run the following command to list all the columns in your mailbox:
zmmailbox -z -m <username> -c "columns"
Replace
<username>
with your actual Zimbra username. -
Identify the column you want to adjust and note its current width.
-
Run the following command to adjust the width of the column:
zmmailbox -z -m <username> -c "setcolumnwidth <column_name> <new_width>"
Replace
<column_name>
with the name of the column you want to adjust, and<new_width>
with the desired width.
For example, to increase the width of the "From" column to 200 pixels, you would run:
zmmailbox -z -m <username> -c "setcolumnwidth from 200"
- Run the following command to verify that the changes have taken effect:
zmmailbox -z -m <username> -c "columns"
This should display the updated column widths.
