What’s new in Zimbra Collaboration 8.8 Beta?

  • Enhanced Mobile synchronization: Now users can sync Zimbra shared items on mobile devices.
  • New HSM and volume management options: Reduce your current Zimbra storage by up to 50% for an enormous cost savings.
  • Improved, easy-to-use Delegated Admin: Create a delegated admin in minutes, and enjoy increased reporting functionality and more CLI commands.
  • Zimbra Drive: Improves file sync and share with the addition of an ownCloud/nextCloud server.
  • Zimbra Chat: Peer-to-peer chat, buddy management and presence built-into Zimbra.
  • Reconfigured IMAP service: Improves email reliability and SLAs by deploying IMAP as a separate service.
  • Expanded SIEVE RFC compliance: Provides email admins with more powerful email filtering.
  • New Ephemeral Data Store: Increases read-write performance and server reliability by storing data store as ephemeral data in SSDB.

A Few Rules …

  • No Zimbra Support will be provided for the Zimbra Collaboration 8.8 Beta testing.
  • Network Edition testers must activate using a valid license which can be your production license.  If you have any issues with activating your server, please open a Support Ticket for assistance.
