We upgraded to 7.1.1 this past weekend as well. So far all of the responses from users has been positive. There are definitely some quirks in it though. In addition to what Paul said...
Cannot select white or black as a tag color.

The new options in appointments with attendees, to "SEND" or "SAVE", has confused a couple people. They wondered why attendees weren't notified when they saved the appointment (they have to click send).
We've had resources go missing. If we create a new appointment, click the Resources link, and then try to find a resource using the auto-complete feature....it does not get found. This worked fine on Monday....but not yesterday or today. Could be a GALSync issue, but we're not sure yet. The resource still exists, we can still type the entire address in to select it for the appointment.
We've had our primary LDAP server go unresponsive for a minute or two....and so all the mailboxes become unresponsive obviously. We haven't tracked down the cause yet, but it's happened 2 or 3 times since we upgraded on Friday night. This is a little worrying since we're in a very low usage time with it being summer. Hopefully we can figure out the cause for this and
That's where we're at so far.

Subject: Re: Zimbra 7 - anyone migrated?
Replying to my own message to share our post-upgrade (7.1.1) experiences so far. We upgraded this past Friday and most things have gone smoothly. The issues we have had have been 'quirky' more than
major (as with the 5.x->6.x upgrade was).
- Many users had to disable and reenable their signature after the upgrade (for replies & forwards). The signature shows as active in the preferences, but does not show. Changing to 'No signature', saving, then back to their default signature and saving again fixes the issue.
- We've had reports that people who had their vacation message enabled had to disable/enable it again as well.
- Some IE users report increased slowness. People using Firefox (which we recommend anyway) haven't had any issues.
- Bugzilla report: Hitting enter in compose causes cursor to drop below signature (Chrome - Windows only)
- Accessing the Address book via the To/Cc/Bcc buttons in the compose window (when composing in a new window) shows all addresses cut off on the left. The "Select Addresses" window is not positioned correctly. Work arounds are turning off 'always compose in new window', or maximizing the compose window before clicking To/Cc/Bcc buttons to choose addresses

Hello all,
Has anyone yet migrated from Zimbra 6.x to 7.x? If so, would you recommend others do the same? Are there any major issues you or your users are having?
We were bit here by migrating to 6.0.5 (with all its auto complete bugs) and are very hesitant about jumping in if there are any major issues. I've done a good deal of testing on a 7.1 test system along with some of my staff, but there are always things that don't come up in small scale testing that come up in a production launch.
Thanks for any info those who have already migrated can provide.
