HTTPS Support for Extra Security in Zenbe Webmail
October 7th, 2008 by Tom Alison ·With this past release we’ve made significant progress in allowing users to access Zenbe over https.
If you navigate to https://www.zenbe.com and login, you’ll continue to maintain your SSL-encrypted https session when you are viewing your Zenbe email. Viewing your calendar and files is also fully encrypted.
We are having an issue with GChat over https, so if you access the GChat Quickview tab you may get a browser warning or broken lock icon in your browser.
Additionally, if you are using IE7, you will get a security warning when you click on emails with images in in them, for example a newsletter from Amazon.com. The warning will look like this:
The cause of this is that when someone sends you an HTML email with images in it, they rarely include secure links to those images. IE7 complains about this, whereas other browser don’t. The problem occurs in other free webmail providers like Zenbe, such as Gmail. Note that you will not get the warning when using the Firefox or Safari web browser.
Please note that https support is still a work in progress. There may be issues with https when accessing Zenbe via a corporate proxy or firewall, or through a complex network configuration. Please help u troubleshoot any issues by reporting https problems on this forum topic.

I was wondering how to switch my Zenbe Fluid SSB to use the https option, since the homepage for the SSB is greyed out and can’t be changed. I thought I’d have to create a new SSB to try it out.
But according to my navigation toolbar, my SSB is using https without my changing anything. This behavior is good for me, and it all seems to be working fine. I’m just curious as to how it all works. Is it magic?
