Comcast picks Zimbra for online e-mail

CNet reports:
Broadband and cable TV company Comcast has hired open-source software company Zimbra to power a service called SmartZone that provides subscribers with e-mail and other online services.

Zimbra’s software provides a Web-based interface for e-mail, calendars, contact lists and instant messaging. SmartZone, geared for “triple play” customers who pay Comcast for TV, Internet and phone communications services, is scheduled to start arriving later this year, Comcast said in a statement.

Also involved in the deal are contact-organizing company Plaxo, which is set to supply software that permits subscribers to synchronize and manage their address books, and Hewlett-Packard, which plans to build and operate Comcast’s service.
