Zimbra 7.2 has arrived, with significant capabilities and enhancements to make collaboration easier and more secure for both users and administrators.
To begin with, your emails are protected with S/MIME encryption and signing, both of which are now native to the Zimbra Web Client and work with Outlook using the Zimbra Connector for Outlook. Which is to say, messages can be read only by the intended recipient, with the sender’s identity assured. Previously, just the communication itself could be secured via SSL. With S/MIME, the data inside is encrypted as well, adding a second layer of protection.
Government users of Zimbra will be happy to learn that 7.2 also implements two-way SSL authentication with Smartcards and Common Access Cards (CAC) issued by the Department of Defense.
7.2 has good news for administrators too: the Zimbra Blackberry Enterprise Server Connector now supports over 750 users per server—3 times more than previously. How’s that for simplifying deployment and management!
Outlook users will appreciate the new Zimbra Connector for Outlook, which lets you automatically mount shares accepted in the Zimbra Web Client. And when scheduling meetings, you can propose new times—and book resources like rooms and equipment—in your calendar invites.

Awesome article. Do you think that this will have a strong impact on the future of email marketing?
This is something good that more persons can be connected at the same time with 1 server.
Zimbra was nice to always improve and issued the latest update
VMware Zimbra vrey good!
Will there be an Appliance in the (near) future?
I’ve never heard of this Zimbra before and was brought here on the advice of a friend. I’ve only used standard emailing services before like gmail and yahoo but this I may look into a bit more. Great to see that it’s well supported and updated regularly.
very good article, thank you
I grew up using mostly Yahoo and G Mail but lately I wanted more organisation and just more management of my email. I discovered Zimbra through an IT website and have never looked back! Zimbra offers so much for everyone and gets better with each new release!
This design is incredible! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
..HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you
had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
