zimbra; email and ajax together

@ 11:42 AM (31 months, 25 days ago)
The battle for a strong browser-based e-mail app has just begun. While yahoo's playing with their new beta application, Zimbra has released an entire platform for managing e-mail, contacts, calendar. This platform (demo here) is based on AJAX, and worths been checked out.
They have an interesting business model, too, with a strong focus on the developers community. I hope the ajax hype will cool down soon enough, so that we see which applications are mature enough to endure market pressure. For now, zimbra's demo made my firefox memory usage grow exponential.
