Within the 01.com shared hosting environment, it's not necessary to purchase nor install any software to use Zimbra, and 01.com services in general. There are no licensing fees, and you don't have to purchase any software. Access to the software, services and unlimited 24/7 support is all-inclusive within the 01.com shared hosting service.

And, free-of-charge, you do have the option to use the software downloads that Zimbra offers for synchronizing Outlook, the Mac desktop applications like iCal, Mail and AddressBook, Thunderbird, and with Zimbra 5, Linux Evolution (open source), and other, optional software including Zimbra toaster, which alerts you to new mail.

Some of our customers just use the web to access all of their services, others never use the web at all, preferring to remain within their desktop applications such as an not limited to Outlook, and many others use both. With Zimbra you have options, and your choices, once made are easily reversible. If you are using Outlook today, and tomorrow you get a Mac, syncing between them through Zimbra is straight-forward, just the same as adding a synchronized mobile device, such as Blackberry, Treo or iPhone.

While using the iPhone with Zimbra is free-of-charge, with Zimbra in the 01.com shared hosting environment with month-to-month terms there is a small extra charge for syncing Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices, and a larger charge for synchronizing Blackberry devices. Please see our Pricing page.
