We designed Zenbe so that you would have a lot of information at your fingertips while reading your email. One of the features that helps you do this is the Quickview on the right side of the screen. It allows you to glance at your agenda, contacts, todo lists, or even your Facebook friends without disrupting your main activity while continuing to read your email.

Consequently, Zenbe works best on a screen with a resolution of at least 1024×768. But here’s a tip for using Zenbe on smaller screen sizes – like your laptop – and avoid getting an unpleasant horizontal scroll bar.

If you need to access anything in the Quickview, just click the arrows again to reopen it.

The Never Ending Internet has a great post on Zenbe that mentions this and many of our other features. Hop over there and check it out.

    The Quickview will remember it’s state between sessions now. This was added in the last release.

    Also as a bonus, we added a keyboard shortcut, the letter ‘q’, to toggle open and close the Quickview.

    Cheers.

    Are you planning a mobile version of the site? Given the direction of communication technology it seems that mobile adaptation is going to be necessary.
