Hi clarke, very nice article. Zimbra indeed is a simple yet flexible emailing solution for businesses, however, i have seen people who believe that MS Outlook is better in terms of usability and accessibility thus they prefer migration from Zimbra to Outlook with apps like zimbra converter http://download.cnet.com/SoftSpire-Zimbra-Converter/3000-2369_4-75914192.html. I personally use Zimbra and i like it no matter what so sharing stuff like this will definitely make people more aware about its pros. Keep it up! :)
