I've been looking a Zimbra [https://www.zimbra.com/ https://www.zimbra.com/] for a while. I like the general idea of the product. Even the free version is feature-filled. My only problem with it is that it seems to be a resource hog. You'd have to get a fairly fat Linode to run it.
I've used garden variety email hosting auto-magically setup on VPS's from such luminaries as GoDaddy without problems for many years. I have never worried about how to setup an email server, just get a cheap VPS, setup email addresses and you are good to go. Given this experience I have to admit to not understanding why Zimbra is so fat.
- jeremye77 9y agoI'm a fan of Zimbra. In reality...a Linode 4096 handles 5 "normal" users just fine, and a few here and there users, possibly more...that was all I needed. Tack on Z-push and you have a nice Activesync implementation as well. Then it is just like gmail just plugin the server and password and calendar, contacts, email, and whatnot all sync as you would expect. http://z-push.org/ http://z-push.org/
- rebootthesystem 9y agoI probably have a dozen email addresses across five companies that I need to manage. I thought Zimbra would be the answer but server requirements sky-rocket quickly.
