Hey forum,
I work for an IT company who have installed Windows servers for almost all our customers. When I asked my boss why he didn't ever use Linux, he answered me that he had not found a good (enough) alternative for MS Exchange. Then I ran into Zimbra. So, to get straight to it, which benefits does Zimbra have over MS Exchange and in which ways is Exchange better? I'm curious to hear about it. If you can get my boss curious as well, we'll probably set up a test network to see how it works.
I'd like to hear from you soon,

Re: You've got me curious...
This is likely to be one of those questions that only you can answer, we don't know your environment nor your requirements nor what you currently do and I'm afraid it's not our job to 'sell' the product to your boss. Have you read any of the product documentation, product comparisons or any of the forum threads that have had answers to this question in the past? I'd suggest you look at some of those then when you have an understanding of what Zimbra is and what it might do in your environment then come back with some specific questions.

Hi Jaapyse,
As phoenix pointed out, start by reading some information here:
You have as well the Zimlets gallery, where you can find awesome integration like OpenPGP, Salesforce, or even develop your own Zimlet for your needs.
If you choose Network Edition, you will be able to make Backups as well, have S/MIME, Archiving, white labeling and much more.
You can give a try of the Network Edition and show to you Boss the Web Client experience, or the Experience in Outlook or Mac or Windows, which is the same as using an Exchange server.
Best regards
