You guys that are worried about Microsoft buying Yahoo and shutting down Zimbra missed an important point:
The core of Zimbra is Open Source. If they take it offline tomorrow, someone can re-release the current version under a different name. If they change the license, someone will fork it. Regardless of who owns Zimbra the company, the source code will live on, as long as someone is willing to maintain it.

@techmine – zimbra uses a lot of ajax calls therefore the whole page doesn’t have to reload again which makes it quite nice for a browser based email/collaboration system.

I’ve gone from hotmail -> yahoo -> google
now finally using Google(personal) / Zimbra (work)

With zimbra we have control over the backend. With a little digging through the code of course. If you understand ajax calls you could create some slick zimlets.

I totally disagree with

“Webmail in the educational market appears to be a three horse race between Zimbra, Gmail and Outlook/Microsoft Exchange”

There are plenty of other open-source solutions which are used by Universities for Webmail, and certainly not just Zimbra.

Atmail – http://atmail.com/ is another solution which seems to be actively used in University circles, just without the PR hype/buzz like Zimbra.

They went with a vendor that is on the verge of either bankruptcy or hostile takeover? Isn’t that the business equivalent of running with scissors? We’ll have to see what happens in August…

We do not use Zimbra as the mail system at the University of Wisconsin. Maybe smaller groups in the University do, but it’s certainly not what the main mail system uses.

Why did this happen?

1) Zimbra is a better product for enterprise solutions.

2) Stanford University is one the original investors in Redpoint Ventures. Redpoint has invested in Zimbra.

Michael,

Not entirely accurate about Penn. As a student, I can tell you that we have a ridiculous number of mail systems. As of last year, the College of Arts and Sciences uses Microsoft’s Windows Live, and the Wharton School uses Outlook/Exchange. Zimbra I think is used for email addresses for the administration, not for students, and not for all the employees of Penn, either.

Ummmmmm, what happens if Microsoft buys a chunk or all of Yahoo? Zimbra may wind up a footnote in history. Not a good position to be in.
