Yahoo’s Zimbra Adds Safari 3 & iPhone Support

I am sure most of you didn't heard about Zimbra so far. Don't worry, today I heard of them for the first time, too. Zimbra is a division of Yahoo!, and I am writing about it here because they recently expanded their support to various Apple products, such as Safari 3 or CalDAV for Mac OS X. To find out more about this, read on...

The flagship product of this Yahoo! division is Zimbra Collaboration Suite, and this application suite's current version is labeled 5.0. The Collabortaion Suite package includes email, contacts, a shared calendar, VoIP, as well as online document authoring, with the help of a rich browser-based interface.

Now, getting back to Zimbra and Apple, you should know that the new Zimbra Collaboration Suite fully supports Safari 3, so now you can take full advantage of this browser while working with your Zimbra Documents. Even more, the CalDAV, a key feature for iCal 3 users using Mac OS X Leopard, is also supported, so they should now be able to easily sync and browse their free/busy time and appointments schedule with both public and personal calendars.

At last, if you have an iPhone, things look even better, because the Collaboration Suite is also available for Apple's mobiles, via the Zimbra Mobile HTML client. After the latest enhancements to the product, Zimbra Connector for Apple iSync allows easy sync of email, address books and calendars between Apple computers and mobile phones.

At this time, there are two versions of the suite available - the Open Source Edition, freely available, and the commercially supported Network Edition, available for a 60-days free trial. For more details about pricing, visit this page.
