Zimbra Email Hosting

Introducing our Zimbra Hosted Email and Collaboration Suite

Email is a critical business tool, yet many businesses don’t have the time, staff, or budget to get the best from it. Now you can! Our hosted Zimbra solution is a real alternative to Microsoft Exchange – with greater functionality and lower costs.

What Is Zimbra?

A fully managed hosted email and collaboration solution for businesses of every size.
Our Zimbra Collaboration Suite provides rich Zimbra features in a fully customised ‘in-the-cloud’ package that includes dynamic webmail, shared contacts and calendars, as well as online document and spreadsheet authoring and editing capabilities.
The service offers convenient anytime access via the web, off-line or mobile, including full compatibility with Outlook and other popular desktop clients.

Our Zimbra service has the option of push email, which sends messages in real time to your mobile device.

How is our service better than other options?

All the benefits of having your own dedicated server – without having a server to host and manage! Better email, better protection from spam and viruses, full mobility, security, backups and disaster recovery – all for a fixed monthly cost.

The Very Good Email Company’s spam filtering reduces the daily flood of spam a thing of the past. Choose between a range of sensitivity settings and control how spam is handled. An online (or IMAP accessible) spam quarantine allows you to keep check on what is being caught. We can’t promise to get every spam that comes through (and neither can anyone else, despite their claims), but you can expect spam to become an occasional surprise rather than a daily menace.

Our virus filters offer powerful protection against email viruses.

Features

Business-class email, protection from spam and virus, automatic filters, signatures…
Exchange style collaboration features with Outlook integration, server-based storage (IMAP) and everything you would expect, including:

  • Powerful shared calendaring – multiple calendars, invitations, share with anyone, sync with Windows, Mac, or mobile!
  • Mobility built-in – custom client for mobile devices enables easy access to all of your email, wherever you are.
  • Business collaboration tools – task lists, document storage and sharing, as well as a private file ‘briefcase’. All fully integrated. Wherever you are, whenever you want – use of best of breed webmail anywhere and/or dynamically sync with Outlook, or Mac.

Better than Microsoft Exchange

Zimbra is cheaper than MS Exchange and yet comes with more features as standard, is far more versatile and can integrate or run on more platforms, applications, browsers and devices.
