Zimbra Hits 20 Million Paid Mailboxes

      by Wyatt Walter

Zimbra is reporting that its paid mailbox count is now up to 20 million mailboxes. This is up from June of last year when Zimbra reported 11 million paid mailboxes. The open source Exchange competitor is really gaining some momentum and is surpassing Exchange in feature sets. Zimbra Collaboration Suite version 6.0 is due out later this year which includes full BES support, a stable release of its offline client, and allowing server-to-server sync for better HA and DR. Zimbra was acquired by Yahoo! in September of 2007 and could very well help out Yahoo! in its financial recovery if it keeps growing at this pace. The 20 million mailbox count only includes the pay-for version of Zimbra which offers mobility syncing as well as other features and does not include users of its free open source edition which a lot of companies use as well.

Congrats Zimbra!
