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.
