Zimbra free pub

Hello,
Zimbra web interface user (for free), one thing that has been irritating me for two weeks is the constant appearance of an ad in the "emails" panel.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this crap? It was supposed to be an open-source interface...
Thanks!
Configuration: Linux Firefox 3.0.17

Hello,
AdBlock works, you just need to subscribe to the FR list in the add-on options.
And there you go, no more ads!

SUPER!!! Thank you so much, it works! And for those who, like me, don't know where to subscribe to the FR list, here is the image in the preferences menu: https://www.cjoint.com/?dqtvK3UO0t

Thanks again.

There's an easier way to remove ads on Firefox: just tell it not to display images from ad.proxad.net by going to Tools/Options, the Content tab, clicking on "Exceptions" next to "Load images automatically," and blocking all images from http://ad.proxad.net/*

It's working wonderfully, thank you a thousand times, because I believe that not being unbundled and having ads in the mailbox was the last straw.
I was thinking of leaving FREE.

You can also remove the ad banner with the Stylish extension for Firefox.
This extension allows you to customize the CSS stylesheets of any website. Once Stylish is installed, there is an "S" icon at the bottom left of Firefox.

To hide the ad on Zimbra:
- Go to zimbra.free.fr
- Click on the "S" in Stylish, and select "Create a new style for zimbra.free.fr"
- A "New Style" window appears. Give it a name like "Zimbra without ads"
- Between the curly braces of the existing text, enter the following lines:
.MsgHeaderTable iframe{height: 0px !important;}
.NoResults iframe{height: 0px !important;}

Normally, the ad banners should no longer appear!
Successfully tested on 10/08/11 with Firefox 5 :-)

Thank you a thousand times DAVE
Note: Copy the 2 lines as follows:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("zimbra.free.fr") {.MsgHeaderTable iframe{height: 0px !important;}
.NoResults iframe{height: 0px !important;}

Magical Stylish!
Installation in a few seconds, we copy-paste the two lines of code and voila! No more ads in Zimbra!

However, it indeed doesn't work on another workstation... But for my part, I only use "personal" PCs that I configure myself, whether at home or at work, so no worries.

In any case, it's quite mediocre to pay for an email service associated with an Internet subscription and end up with ads everywhere without having asked for anything...

I am also very disappointed with FREE's behavior, which I otherwise hold in high regard. The ads in the messages make the messages almost unreadable on my Netbook! (small screen). I was planning to subscribe to Free, but ZIMBRA is making me change my mind (I miss the good old IMP), and I will stick with the competition...

@philhobbie :
Not changing your ISP for a reason of ads on the external tool that is Zimbra I find it really ... "strange" Especially since there is always the possibility of using the free webmail, which is ad-free.

Hello again;

after various research, including on the Free newsgroup, I have two solutions, one of which I applied and that works:

1 _ plugin ? Addblockplus for Firefox

2 _ add

127.0.0.1 ad.proxad.net

to the hosts file.

I used the second solution.

Hello, I also oppose the ad banner in the Zimbra interface. I know very little about this kind of manipulation, so I followed your advice step by step.
I tried your method in the hosts file, I already have Adblock but nothing works. Adblock tells me it is active and doesn't detect the banner ad.
How can I find the IP address of the ad in your recommendation: ad.proxad.net
Has this address changed?
Thank you for your advice.

Hello,
LucMorizur's idea is good. I used it as follows:
1) I added the address 127.0.0.1 ad.proxad.net to my hosts file with no result, the ads were still there. :-(
2) In the proxy settings, in Firefox, I created an exception for ad.proxad.net and since then I have no more ads. :-)

The advantage of Zimbra is being able to use it from any workstation... we're not going to have fun configuring a blocker on every workstation that everyone uses... Thanks for the idea of nomadism.... one step forward, two steps back... all these business people are idiots...

@flomaz: heads up, I was talking about two different solutions.

Click on the link I associated with "hosts file" in my previous message, it will explain how to modify your hosts file.

Thank you for your response.
I followed your method to modify the Hosts file, but it did not remove the banner.
I quit and then reopened Firefox, it didn't work. So I restarted my computer, still nothing...
Thanks again for your advice.
Below is my hosts file:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is an example of a HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP
# for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names.
# Each entry must be on a clean line. The IP address must be placed
# in the first column, followed by the corresponding host name. The
# IP address and host name must be separated by at least one space.
#
# In addition, comments (like this one) can be inserted on clean
# lines or after the computer name. They are indicated by the
# '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # client host x

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ad.proxad.net

?!

Surprising, it works for me... and apparently the Adblock Plus plugin for Firefox doesn't work either?

Sorry, I can't help you more than that :-/ ... however, for other internet users, I think it would be interesting for you to describe your setup.

Good luck!

Hello and thank you Luc for your attention, too bad for me. I will try to contact Zimbra and/or Free.
config: Windows XP
Firefox 3.6

For clarification, Adblock works very well on other types of ads or pop-up ads, but for this banner, it has no effect.

Hello,

I am with Free and I open my mailbox on Zimbra. Like everyone, this ad annoys me. I wrote to Free assistance and here is their response:

"Dear Sir/Madam,

You can remove the ad banner using tools available on the Internet that block this type of content.
Moreover, using the ZIMBRA webmail is not mandatory when using a FREE email address.
Your messages remain accessible through POP or IMAP servers configured in an email client, or through the classic WEBMAIL (imp.free.fr).
I remain at your entire disposal for any further information and wish you a good weekend.
Sincerely.
Marc, Free Mailer Service

That really moves things forward!!!

Thank you for your solutions.

Hello,

Which advertising banner are you referring to?
See for me: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1303/zimbra01.jpg

I use NoScript and AdBlock with Firefox!

Ziggurat, it is a banner ad displayed below the image you posted, which appears within the content of the selected message. This ad is shown when no message is selected.

Well, no ads here!

Or I don't understand what you're talking about :\

I have this ad in large format when I haven’t selected a message, then in a banner when one message is visible. While I appreciate the mobility that Zimbra offers, I’m considering migrating because this ad on a mobile screen takes up way too much space and I hate ads. If anyone has other ideas on how to remove it, I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks.

Maybe precisely because you use NoScript and AdBlock, Ziggourat?
