Product explained
Zimbra connects email with the rest of the working day.
The Modern Web App brings together messages, appointments, contacts, tasks and—depending on licence and configuration—files and collaboration.
Organisations choose an integrated workspace when communication and planning should not sit in separate tools. Zimbra is the platform; MrMail provides the agreed hosting, migration and support scope.
Zimbra describes capability. The MrMail quotation describes what your solution contains.
