Finding the Best Open Source Email Solutions

Where is the bit of my posting that says that:
Zimbra gives you the community software which is the same as the paid one except it contains little features for free?
Kopano gives you the entire stack out of the main branch and if you want the production releases you call them up?
The net result for an unpaid user is a tradeoff of features vs releases.
For a paid user the net result is the same other than perhaps you choose the one that looks best for you?
At the end of the day that's the summary.
You do not need all the advanced features by the look of it therefore you can stay with Zimbra.
I can't as I need the full product.

Hold on - where did @stacksofplates quote you saying this? I don't see that in his post.. He only said
Enterprise ready for sure!
Is he taking a jab at the product, for sure! at you? I don't think so.

As a follow up, we've been on Zimbra now for quite some time and we are extremely happy with it still. It's been rock solid, been through several upgrades, and "just works". Easy to manage, easy to work on, and great for the end users. Far better than the Hosted Exchange or Gmail that I also have to use for different places. I use all three and for me, Zimbra is the least flashy but most functional. And on the admin side, it is the simplest.
We have been on Zimbra 8.7 for a while. Rumour is that there will be a heavily revamped interface in 8.8. That will be a really big deal.

Well DCH owns a email hosting company, so... it's not exactly self hosted.

Been very happy as a Zimbra user. Straightforward to use for sure.

I agree with you, what an u-turn @scottalanmiller !

What's the other option?
-
@scottalanmiller It is a Chilean hosting company, that doesn't host Zimbra for email.
-
@scottalanmiller Do you mean other hosting or other Email Solution?

Not the best endorsement.

Just following up. We've been using Zimbra now for quite some time more. It's been another year. The product has improved slightly, we've had a few hiccups in patching and cert management (their system is ridiculous, but it is scripted by now.) We have improved SPAM handling dramatically. We went through an IP black list and added MailGun to handle our outgoing email reliability which has been great.
Overall, another year and extremely happy with being on Zimbra.
