Zimbra Mail Server- Features & Benefits

Zimbra server is the dedicated server that can manage all your mailbox contents such as calendar, contacts, messages, attachments and more. You will receive the messages from the Zimbra MTA server which then passes through the filters and indexed before sent into your mailbox. This server, besides content management also includes dedicated volumes to log and backup files. However, each mailbox of email server will be able to see  only its own content volumes stored. This server in-box may not be able to read, see or write any mail or content to an other Zimbra server suite. Using the advance web-mail you can organize the mailboxes by yourself with filters, saved searches, fast search and other features. With the comprehensive calendaring feature of Zimbra you can access multiple calendars per user, group schedule, view multiple calendars or even subscribe external calendars in the .ics format.
