Zimbra

June 4, 2006

Zimbra LogoFor a long time I’ve been touting Zimbra as the greatest available web-based mail client. I’ve never gotten around to mentioning it here, but I figure it’s time. In fact, Zimbra is more than just a web-based mail client, they call it a collaboration suite. Basically this means it has email, calendar, and contact management. It’s all Ajax based, open source, extendable, and provides a free version.

In addition to the fantastic interface, it is also a complete email server with industry level SPAM protection built-in. The email server supports IMAP and POP so users can continue using whatever desktop application they may prefer as an alternative to the web-based application.

With my general unhappiness with Outlook and most other web-based email solutions, I really wish I could use Zimbra. Go check out the hosted demo.

    [...] Zimbra announced today that they have been acquired by Yahoo!! Zimbra was bound to be acquired by someone [...]

    Zimbra was never truly open source anyway. It’s just barely free enough to cover the licenses of the open source underpinnings to which they helped themselves (mysql, cyrus, etc.) without giving anything back (if you want Zimbra to be useful for anything other than a barebones mail server, you have to buy the commercial version).

    True open source collaboration, on the other hand, is available from Citadel — http://www.citadel.org — this is a community-built platform that is in the same league as Zimbra but is end-to-end GPL software. Give it a try.

    You mentioned “you really wish you could use Zimbra,” why can’t you use it?

    Version 5 supports sync with Vista and Outlook 2007, Mac Tiger or Leopard, plus the Evolution client and already good integration with mail, calendaring and contact sharing on all platforms in Thunderbird, plus has a ton of new features like file-sharing and task-list sharing.

    I am losing business, because I can’t get my Emails on time since my franchise (Sutton Group Realty) switched to this STUPID system. I am no computer person, but been working with them for over 25 years and I have NEVER seen anything this STUPID. Now I feel like a captive hostage because to switch my Email address means that I have to make new business cards, signs, flyers, pens, magnets, etc. ZIMBRA SUCKS the BIG ONE >:-(

    @ Sutton Realtor

    Do not spread your frustrations on Zimbra, but at the franchise/sysop. using CAPS STUPID only reflects back on you.

    Like any other program/platform Zimbra works great if you use it the way it is supposed to be used.

Got something to say?
