Zimbra

// June 4th, 2006 // Technology Bits

For 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.
