After you set up your accounts, your email messages are downloaded to your computer and can be accessed whether you are connected to the Internet or not. With Zimbra Desktop, you cand read, reply, forward or delete the mail messages in all your accounts. Mail storage is based on your computer's disk space, not on a pre-defined account quota.

Unlimited email storage is great but searching through thousands of emails is a hassle. Our Conversation Views and Message Tags automatically highlight important emails in all your email accounts so you can find anything in a hurry. Advanced Search makes finding important pictures, documents or messages from people you care about a snap.
