 An answer...
Hi,
although initially I read some irritation between the lines in the previous posts, this thread seems to have turned into a positive one where there's constructive criticism, and with the help of mr. E. Arneson a list of to (quickly and thoroughly) resolve issues can be addressed. Great!
I just want to quickly let others - who are not so familiar with bug lists in a software company - know that a list of, well, say 200 or 1000 bugs for (in this case) both server and client side, multi-platform software that has not been developed and improved with the resources from a huge firm like Microsoft, is not really so uncommon or unexpected. Being in Content/Document Management business for 9 years now and having dealt back-end (technical) and front-end (end-user) with both Microsoft products and others, also Microsoft has had bug-lists these sizes, if not larger.
I have found that Zimbra is a great product, with all its little faults, as I find that Microsoft Exchange + Microsoft Outlook combined are great products with all their faults. My opinion is that Zimbra currently is setting a somewhat different footprint on managing communication and interactions which hopefully will result in both happy users and administrators.
Lastly my answer to the initial question from Mr. Arneson why zimbra is so buggy: because it is software that is being used.  |
