Public shared contacts folder I have been looking at Zimbra since late November, when I read about it in an eWeek (I think?). Right now, we have >150 users still on POP3/SMTP, and I have a mandate to move everyone to Exchange, or another collaboration suite (the regional directors of the company only know about Exchange, but they're open to anything that meets their needs).
BUT - and this is a big but - having some sort of centralized, shared contacts list is a must. Ideally, this would be part of the implementation of shared folders, but even just a specific feature where our sales-people can add in details of potential customers, and ops people can list vendors, and tag them using Zimbra tags, would be fine.
We could then use the soap interface to sync selected contacts (by tag, or folder, possibly) with other systems we have, and are implementing this year (order-entry systems, ACCPAC and Solomon accounting, etc).
Anyway - is there now any estimate of when public folders or a shared, global contacts list (of not-just-Zimbra-accounts) will be added? If it's in the next 3 - 5 months, I really want to know!.
