  1. Comment #1 (Posted by Curtis Carmack )
    Hi, I'm a FuseMail user thinking of switching to Zimbra. You missed the fact that FuseMail does provide e-mail consolidation (POP or IMAP, your choice, configurable per external account). This is actually a key feature of FuseMail. My biggest concern in moving to your hosted Zimbra solution is the frequency of external mail consolidation. With FuseMail, depending on how active the external account is, consolidation happens as often as every minute. This is important to me and excludes Google Apps from consideration, as consolidation there is very slow. Also, FuseMail does offer hosted LDAP for free as part of the offering. Hope this helps clean up your table. Curt

    Hi Curt, Thank you for your suggestions. We have revised this article. Polling time for external email accounts in Zimbra can be set as low as every 120 seconds.
