<<If you’re a student at Georgia Tech or an employee at Digg or Mozilla.org, you know just how excellent your email and group calendaring experience is. That’s because it’s powered by Zimbra, creator of an innovative Ajax-based mail client that integrates email, contacts, shared calendar, search and VoIP into an incredibly cool browser-based interface. So cool that we’ve just entered an agreement to acquire Zimbra for $350 million.

Zimbra is a global leader in email and collaboration software and its services are aimed at universities, businesses, and ISPs worldwide, which is a major driver of what made the company so attractive to us.>>

Zimbra has a lot in common with Gmail and the interface is closer to Outlook/Yahoo Mail Beta. One of the coolest things is that Zimbra is open-source and you can host it on your server. That's one of the things you can't do with Google Apps. Other cool things: Outlook integration, offline version, mobile sync.

Hope Zimbra is not the reason why all my mails to press[put at-character here]digg.com have been ignored so far :)
