Comment It's gmail... right? --- Um, no ... it's Zimbra! (Score 1) 336
Actually Zimbra does has a web front end that has some similarities to gmail, but it is also a solution I can run off my linux server without all the headaches of other POSIX system MTAs, with, yes, a nice interface with fantastic detailed search capabilities - that you can save for future searches. Some nice integration with the calendar component, using open standards, being opensource ...
And it is currently only a beta release, but with a strong community being built around it.
To me, it seems to be a core group of quality developers (of the likes of Andy Clark who was one of the core architects/contributors to the famed Apache Xerces2) with a community of techs being formed around them who realise what value this group is really bringing to the table.
Oh, and it seems to run on my p3 700 FC3 server with 768mb of RAM without any problems - technology that is a good 7 years old now. It took 2-3 hours to set up from a clean box. And the server is running a bunch of other services as well. Don't knock it before you try it. I really think Zimbra is filling a needed gap in the POSIX world for a quality open source complete easy to install/setup/administer email solution.
