Zimbra Desktop Reaches RC Status
by Wyatt WalterThe Zimbra team has reeleased the release candidate 1 of Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop, an offline mail client that allows synchronization with several mail services. The client can connect to Zimbra servers, of course, but it can also ’sync’ with Yahoo!, Google, Hotmail and AOL’s mail, contact, and calendar services as well as Microsoft Exchange servers and standard IMAP and POP servers as well. The release contains all the features for the 1.0 release and works on the “big three” operating systems, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
One of the biggest strengths of the Zimbra platform is its extensions called zimlets. Zimlets integrate directly into the Zimbra interface and can interact with the user to integrate other systems. For instance, the flickr zimlet allows users to save photos sent as attachments right to their flickr account. The release comes a few days after Google just announced that it was working on an offline version of Gmail to allow users to access their emails, calendars, etc. even while not connected to the web.
