Zimbra?
Hi
Any of you use this, for personal use rather than for business use?
I'm weighing it up over using my present set up of gmail (with calendar, contacts and google docs).
Also the ability to have proper push sync with my iphone is quite tempting.
I've found a company which will offer a personal service at $50 a year.

Also, the "proper push sync" is the same type of sync that Google currently offers, an Exchange account that essentially wipes any data currently on the phone and uses the Exchange protocol to sync.

I've used it and it is an impressive piece of software but I am not sure it is up to snuff when put up against the Google suite of products.

Re push. As I understand on the iphone, you can only "fetch" with gmail, but with zimbra, it supports the exchange service so it pushes the mails.

Using the Exchange protocol, they are able to "push" mail and calendar data.

Google does as well: http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html

I use 'fetch' with GMail and to be honest with 15 minute intervals you're not lagging too much. If you want free 'push' with GMail try Nuevasync - iPhone only IIRC..

I'm just seeing what else there is out there really.
Got a free month trial with Zimbra, so will see if its worth the cost over using google.

So why not use IMAP? iPhone 3.0 comes out today and is supposed to have CalDAV support, which would take care of your calendars and IMAP would somewhat solve the "push" issue.
