Recently in Zimbra Category

Well... after a couple of weeks thinking if i should release the Zimbra ActionScript library i wrote without really testing i decided to test the mail part of it tonight and just release that part over at github.

You guys may know about Zimbra already. It's an open source mail group server software that offers similar features as Microsoft Exchange.

I have done an actionscript2/actionscript3 interface to it and i'm looking for official support by them since i want to release it open source.

I have been following the ribbit development for a while trying to develop an app in my spare time. Here is a screencast of the app in a very alpha state.

I used to use exchange when i was in school and i love the features it has.

Here at work we used to use a postfix + dovecot setup in linux for email but some months ago i found zimbra. Zimbra is a paid/opensource exchange replacement.

I installed it on a spare server and then since January i replaced our main email server with it. Now we use imap instead of pop3, share calendars, share mailboxes, etc.

It works incredible! We are now integrating it (it uses soap internally) to our extranet.

Go and take a look at zimbra!
