Testdriving Zimbra Desktop Mail for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Ever since Yahoo acquired Zimbra, a lot of us were waiting for the next big
| thing in desktop emailing. Recently, Yahoo launched Zimbra desktop, an open
| source email client which aims to increase your productivity by integrating
| an email client, calendar, task list, contact manager and a briefcase, all in
| one slick and easy package.
| It's time to see how well it fares with my current favorite - Thunderbird.

It's not Free software, but at least it seems safe from the Beast now that
Yahoo's search division is the only one at jeopardy.

| Zimbra Desktop, which is built on Mozilla Prism, is available for Windows,
| Mac and linux machines. It weighs in at 40 MB, about double the size of
| Thunderbird. The product promises the robust features of Outlook, which are
| lacking in Outlook Express and Thunderbird. Users can access Yahoo mail
| accounts, Zimbra accounts, or any Pop/IMAP supported email boxes. Zimbra
| Desktop also includes a calendar, contact list and other features.

Zimbra's new Desktop: Look ma, no browser!
,----[ Quote ]
| How did Zimbra do this? With Prism, which is a Mozilla project that basically
| lets applications borrow a tightly integrated, stripped-down version of the
| Firefox browser to run as standalone applications. This gives them all of the
| benefits of the browser (and the Web) without the browser artifacts. It's a
| match made in heaven.

| This means competition authorities will view Microsoft's potential take-over

| absorption of its chief e-mail competitor.
|
| Yahoo! will do what it takes to avoid acquisition by Microsoft. Roy is
| working on it.

Yahoo! to boost collaboration offerings with Zimbra

| The move reflects the belief among major players that collaboration
