Have you had any second thoughts at this point about Zimbra? Before visiting your site, just finished reviewing the blog of a family that moved from Google Apps to Zimbra…. led me to a number of illustrated blog entries comparing Zimbra vs. Google’s. Have you had any second thoughts at this point about Zimbra?

There are a few solutions to the issues you were experiencing with Zimbra. SMS Notifications: This can easily be done in the preference panel for the individual user account by the user himself or an admin. It's under Options --> Mail --> Enable address for new mail notifications. Mobile Access: Right or wrong, Zimbra has chosen to focus on utilizing the native mobile clients rather than mobile browsers for access. Their simple web client does work but does not include calendar. Out of curiosity, did you try Zimbra Mobile - http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra_mobile.html ? SPAM: I wholeheartedly agree that the spam filtering in Zimbra is not sufficient, especially when compared to Gmail, Postini, and a few others. Free/Busy: It's there... kinda, but just buried under setting up an appointment. Too clunky unless you use the Outlook plugin which brings it front-and-center. Hope this information helps if you ever play with Zimbra again. Cheers, Matthew DISCLAIMER: Our company is a Zimbra hosting company (but not the one previously used by RedMonks).
