Zimbra

  Zimbra
• VMware Zimbra, or Zimbra, is an open source collaboration software for email, group calendaring, contacts, and web document management and authoring. The Zimbra server is available for Linux, Mac OS X, appliances, and virtualization platforms. Zimbra is simplifying IT and setting the standard for web and cloud based collaboration with innovative user experiences, such as Ajax Web interface (web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server 
  asynchronously).
  
  
  Zimbra’s Innovative End-User Experience
  Delivering a powerful and more flexible web-based experience is a major component of the Zimbra mission. Traditionally, email has been largely a client-focused experience on a single desktop (which is fine for some users) but can limit productivity (fewer features, no anywhere access, not cross-platform). Zimbra’s AJAX web experience liberates end-users by providing the best of both worlds (looks like a client but works on the web).
  
  Zimra can let you:
  Work anywhere
  The Zimbra AJAX web experience works on any computer; email and files travel with you.
  
  
  Be more efficient
  Large inboxes are easy to manage with Zimbra Tags, Conversation Views, and the Visual Search Builder.
  
  
  It’s all-in-one
  Email, calendar, documents, files and instant messaging are integrated.
  
  
  Go mobile
  Over-the-air sync to iPhone and BlackBerry plus virtually any device via our mobile web experience.
  
  
  Your client, your choice
  Zimbra also syncs with Outlook, Thunderbird and any other standards based clients that support POP/IMAP and iCal/CalDAV.
  
  
  Cost effective
  Web scalability, hierarchical storage management, and single attachment store make for economical deployment.
