Here's what's up: Zimbra is a server software that competes with Microsoft Exchange, hosted by organizations themselves, *and* it's also offered SaaS, by hosting providers, and soon enough I'd guess from Yahoo! itself (no comment) to compete with yes, Google Apps (not Gmail). So, there's this Zimbra server software, and it's good, scaling from serving small businesses to huge deployments like Comcast. It syncs with Treos, iPhones, and is even in beta with native BES Blackberry sync, and it's open source based, with a commercial layer that enables enterprise stuff like, uh, backup, archiving and desktop sync with Outlook and the Mac desktop apps like iCal and AddressBook. It actually works great with Thunderbird, too (how I use it), when I'm not using its quite amazing web interface. So this Zimbra, get this, has been working on its own desktop software, called Zimbra Desktop. What this does, as far as I can tell, is enable you to stay within your web browser even when you're offline, and still reach your addresses, calendars, email, and files stored and shared in Zimbra (briefcases). I haven't actually tried it yet because our <a href="http://www.01.com" rel="nofollow">Zimbra host</a> doesn't recommend it for production, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. BTW, as far as speed, while I haven't tried Zimbra desktop yet, it runs fast directly through the web in Firefox and Safari, with some exceptions for poor hotel connections, I log in in about a second and a half even traveling out of the country.

This client is an incredible resource hog, worse than Outlook. It's S L O W overall, but it's basically unusable with IMAP accounts with more than a few hundred emails (it slows so much that it's basically frozen). Yahoo's plus web client is incredibly elegant and functional, and it's little publicized IMAP functionality works great with both my iPhone and my N95. How they failed so miserably on this boggles my mind. As far as a free solution goes, Thunderbird is so much better it isn't even a contest. I cannot comprehend this review at all.

I really support solutions enabling you to work everywhere you go, e.g. ThinkFree Office which is really great for me, but still prefer working desktop to online.

Is yahoo concerned about the unlimited storage space it provides for the email. With desktop application, the users would download emails on PCs. So yahoo do not have to worry about server spaces.

What is more, this stuff seems to be heavily JAVA based and I cannot imagine using it for going through some 10,000 e-mails on a standard desktop computer. Anyway, some really tough work put on this one (some solutions seem to be used by bank systems) and a nice piece of software at the first sight. Maybe a good solution for a server infrastructure, but forget about using it on a single user machine.
