Quick note for Customers still on Zimbra Collaboration 8.6 and below

If you are a Customer running Zimbra Collaboration 8.6 or below, the End of General Support will occur this 30th of September. If running previous versions, you already are not receiving any security or bug fixes. We’re here for you! We strongly encourage you to give us a call or send us an email to sales@zimbra.com, and we will be glad to help you through the licensing and system upgrade by using our Professional Services, or you can contact your local Partner.

If by any chance you are still running versions from ZCS 8.6 or below, we encourage you upgrade to at least 8.7.11 with the latest Patch, and even better if you can upgrade to 8.8, so you will be in a supported version until 2020.
