As an authorized Zimbra hosting provider and integrator partner, we're also enthused about the news. Here's our statement: http://blog.01.com/?p=325

@Gray You may want to correct the "Services" link that is in the nav bar on the page you linked to. It goes here to services.html, but the host is admin.01.com, and there's no such page available from that host. The same thing happens with your "Contacts" link on that page.

I must live in a cave. I've never heard of Zimbra.

So what happened to the Oddpost team that Yahoo bought some time ago?

@Andrew - And I thought *I* was an out of touch Luddite. ;-) Please tell me you've heard of Asterisk / trixbox.

@Charles - I have a substantial business model already receiving buyout offers that is built around (in part) capabilities within Asterisk and have written custom code that I've compiled into the source of one of the apps.

How's that?

Rob - Thanks for the hint, fixed the blog links.

Also, we just published movies of the process of moving to Zimbra hosting here:
