SO got a question for you guys, and I know alot of you are in IT of some sort. shouldn't the idea of the IT department be to make the rest of the companies lifes easier? seems like its the reverse here. converted to thin clients a few years ago, took awhile to work out all the bugs and issues it cost, things have been working great for the past few months. then the VP thought it would be a great idea to dump Outlook for an open source platform called zimbra...I'm really trying to figure out why someone would do this. I'm not sure yet if we are on the free version or the Vmware payed version (which don't look cheap so guesing free) but I traded my nice efficient outlook client for a web based Peace of crap slow email...I do alot of emailing...we still use office for everything else so I just lost all my office integration....really want to just break in and nuke the server....
so any IT people out there want to let me know why ZIMBRA would make sense? Also I'm not officially sanctioned to have mobile email, but my Boss (VP) said its fine for me to have it if I can figure out how to make it work on my phone. I'm assuming we have the free version of this POS anyone know how to figure out all the settings of the server without actually being able to talk to the admin about it?
