Why Did Yahoo Buy Zimbra?

“The real power of Zimbra is its APIs, which together with Zimbra’s open source status makes this a potentially powerful development platform. The APIs enable developers to access messaging functions inside the Zimbra application, meaning external apps can hook into Zimbra’s functionality. The example used in the demo is a travel application using Zimbra’s APIs to “automatically create a calendar event for the person traveling”.”

And that is probably one of the main reasons why Yahoo acquired Zimbra.

so now oddpost gets the axe just as they were finally launching?
