Zimbra offers a host of useful browser based Ajax applications to help you slay that technology beast which saps your time and energy in the name of productivity— email.
I use Gmail but after reviewing Zimbra, I may send it to Zmail.
Here’s some of the cool Zimbra offerings:
- easy calendaring from email
- integration with Skype to make phone calls directly from email
- integration with Yahoo maps (add other mashups, called Zimlets)
- global email search, including attachments, with a save feature
- threaded conversations
- color coded tagging labels
- get blog updates in a folder via RSS
- Zimbra also connects to your Blackberry
- it can also integrate the most popular email services, like Outlook, GMail.
Here are a few screenshots showing Zimbra features :
