Read reddit at work from your Zimbra webmail
That’s right! Redditors can easily read their favorite reddit threads from Zimbra’s webmail interface using the Zimbra RSS feed tool.
Let’s set this tool up!
STEP 1: Find your RSS folder
(Tip: Rename RSS to aRSS to place higher in the Zimbra webmail folder display.)
Find your RSS feed folder.
STEP 2: Add a new Folder for the RSS feed
Create new Folder to support the RSS feed.
STEP 3: Enter the RSS feed details
In this example, name the new folder “Zimbra on reddit” for the subreddit dedicated to Zimbra Collaboration Suite.
Check the box [ ] beside “Subscribe to RSS/ATOM feed.”
Add the URL. In this example, we will subscribe to the Zimbra subreddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/Zimbra/.rss
Yep, it’s that easy: Simply enter your favorite subreddit URL and append it with /.rss to subscribe to the feed.
For other blog sites you might have to use /feed at the end of the url. For example, the XMission blog feed is https://xmission.com/blog/feed
Hit the “OK” button to save the feed folder.
Enter details here.
STEP 4: Read your subreddits!
New posts will automatically show in the RSS folder. To view the post simply click on it.

The Zimbra RSS feed is a simplified view and doesn’t have the elegance of the official reddit.com web interface. However, you can see the primary post and access the original articles and comments using direct links within the message display.
