With Hosted Zimbra Messaging |
With an ordinary POP3 email account |
|
Use the Global Address List (GAL) to find the email address or other contact information for anyone in your company - easily |
Dig through your business cards, month's-old paper telephone-list taped to your desk, or hope that your contacts list is up to date |
|
Share any of your calendars so that anyone you choose can see when you're busy, and where you'll be next week |
Endure the ping-pong bouncing of "meeting requests", and "proposed new times" that don't fit your calendar, until you finally figure out when everyone is free. |
|
Delegate edit-rights to your calendar, so your administrative assistant can put important meetings on your calendar - and keep another calendar that you don't share for personal appointments - even appoint someone to update your schedule while you're out of town |
No schedule-delegation features |
Subscribe to the calenders of other companies, people or websites by subscribing to .ics feeds |
Find a 3rd-party calendar-subscription program, and then copy & paste into your own schedule |
And remember - with hosted Zimbra, your calendar is automatically linked to dates and day words in every email. Using Zimbra's award-winning web-client, just hover over the word, "today" or "January 13th" in an email to instantly see your schedule for that day!
Until now, the advantages of group-ware and collaboration have belonged almost exclusively to the large companies that could afford them - and even they suffer through the problems of bad system design and the hard-to-learn features of corporate messaging systems. Zimbra's messaging system was designed from the ground up to be simple to use, fast and flexible.
