More impressive, the interface is very customizable, with options for everything from whether or not to display images inside of messages, to the ability to have a separate email signature for each account. Messages can easily be stored in folders, tagged, and set with priorities. Colors help sort messages and folders, and integration with tools like contacts, a calendar, task list, note taking tool, and even basic word processing and spreadsheet tools built in. The interface is remarkably user friendly. Zimbra supports SSL for secure email connections, which is a nice plus. Other email accounts setup almost as simply by entering in the addresses of the appropriate mail server and the ports they use. Simply entering a username and password gets you on your way with your Yahoo account. Setup is remarkably easy with, of course, Yahoo Mail being the easiest to setup.
In fact, Zimbra works with any email server supporting the near universal POP or IMAP standards which includes another Internet titan, Google’s Gmail. Zimbra is not limited to working with Yahoo accounts. Zimbra even allows for offline access of that same email.

Recently, however, Yahoo decided to unleash the mass users of its Yahoo Mail service by offering a free version of Zimbra which allows for full access and synchronization of Yahoo email accounts (even of free accounts) from a desktop based client. Since then, the email products offered by the company have remained an interesting, if not wide-spread offering. Yahoo purchased Zimbra in September of 2007. It hopes its new email client might be part of that. In reality, Yahoo’s number two position is still enviable (Microsoft even tried to buy the number two spot by buying Yahoo). Then, all of that changed, and search became the name of the game.
In a time when portals were all that mattered, Yahoo was one of the biggest. Once upon a time, Yahoo dominated the Internet.
