Thumbs down

I run a single server as my business.

Take note to those who are joining Zimbra -- from someone who has backed them tooth and nail over the past year or two.

Do not choose this option unless you are willing to put in more effort than a little ajax webmail is worth.

After the acquisition of Zimbra by Yahoo - the first upgrade released has totally failed - I now stand in a position where i have to basically explain to my users that their emails are lost.

Not because I don't have a backup but because it will be equivalent to finding millions of needles in a huge haystack.

Meaning I now have to troll through the backed up 'zimbra' folder and somehow restore each message to the NEWLY installed 4.5.9 version.

The update failed which basically botched my system -- all those ready to jump down my throat now, i have been updating since v4 release -- and i tried scouring every Zimbra blog and forum page (even translating some) to find solutions --- none.

So i moved my old 'zimbra' folder to 'zimbra-backup' and installed a fresh copy -- failed.

SO, i tried again.

..............

I say thanks Yahoo, and I hope the Zimbra Originals are burning away your money dudes.

I will be shortly moving away from Zimbra after this display - I am grateful for the last years stability.

p.s. I may take my Wiki page with me in lui of services and clients lost
