You can quickly create a meeting request by simply dragging and dropping a message, conversation, or contact to a date on the Zimbra mini calendar. When you drag and drop a message or conversation, the information in the message is used to populate many of the fields on the Appointment page.
The Subject of the appointment is the subject of the message.
The attendees are the email addresses in the To: and Cc: fields of the message or for conversations, the most recent message in a conversation. When you drag a contact from your Contacts list to the mini-calendar, the contact's first email address is added to the attendee field.
The text of a message or the text of all messages in a conversation thread becomes the text of the invitation. Message attachments are not attached to the appointment request.
Click on a specific message or conversation and drag it to a date on the mini-calendar. The appointment page opens.
Accept the information that was taken from the message or you can change any of the appointment fields.
Set the time constraints for the meetings, hour and recurrence if required.
Click OK to send the invitation.
Click on a name from your Contact list and drag the name to a date on the mini-calendar. The appointment page opens with the contact name in the Attendees field.
Complete the Appointment information and click OK to send the invitation.
