If Yahoo is going to use this purchase to compete with Google and MS's hosted offerings by reselling their own hosted Zimbra services, it will obviously have a huge impact on companies like ourselves who can't compete with that, if Yahoo even lets us do so at some point in the future.

So we do have some trepidation here, despite the buzzword filled press release's assurances that "nothing is going to change".

And the problem is, and no offense here to the community Zimbra employees, but getting a big "Yeah, we're listening!" on a web forum isn't enough for us. Especially since decisions don't get made with the input of what the "community forum employee guy" thinks - again, no offense - because thats not the case. Unfortunately, we probably won't see any changes coming, and that's what worries us the most.
You will be hearing from Zimbra but in the meanwhile, did you check the FAQ?

BTW, the "community forum employee guy" as you quaintly put it are Zimbra Employees - what we do on the forums is done in when we have the time - this isn't our day job. We aim to provide help and support on the forums in addition to what we do for the NE customers.

If you don't feel comfortable with the answers we provide on the forums or if you have any burning questions about what's happening you should direct them to your sales contact.
