Up until last update of Zoho Mail, most of the work on integrating Zoho Mail with Zoho Business was at the server side. Because of this, you wouldn’t have had the chance to see what we’ve been doing behind the scenes. Now, its high time for you to watch the integration happening right in front of your eyes. Yes, in the forth coming week starting from March 5, 2008, we’ve scheduled a few updates that are much of client-side. With these updates, we’ll be integrating Tasks, Notes and Links of Zoho Mail with Zoho Business.

We know most of you are using Zoho Mail everyday for your personal and official emails. To provide you an uninterrupted email service, we’ve taken appropriate measure to perform these updates without any downtime. During this period, you’ll not be able to add, edit or delete tasks, notes and links in Zoho Mail. However, you can do the same from Zoho Business. Once this update is done, you’ll find a centralized common Tasks, Notes and Links in Zoho Mail and Zoho Business.

We greatly appreciate your patience and co-operation!

We know it’s been a long time since you noticed any update from Zoho Mail. We are working very hard to add many great features and enhance Zoho Mail’s core functionalities including performance, security and scalability. Since most of the work is being done at the back-end, and not much on the design/UI, as an end-user you get very less to notice.

As a step towards improving the overall functionalities of Zoho Mail, we have scheduled a major server-side update on Saturday, 8th September 2007 at 10.30 PM PDT. This upgrade is expected to take about 2 hours. Hence, access to Zoho Mail will not be available during this period.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

If you visit www.zoho.com today, you’ll notice a subtle yet important change there. What used to be called as ‘Zoho Virtual office‘ is now renamed as ‘Zoho Mail’.

‘Zoho Virtual office’ (currently in private beta) was perceived as an integrated suite of our office applications (Writer, Sheet & Show) by many users, bloggers & press which actually is not the case. We have some integration across Zoho applications, and more integration is on the way, but the Zoho Virtual Office name confused too many people. We were responsible for causing the confusion by calling it “collaboration suite”. The primary applications in Virtual Office are Email, Calendar, Document Management, Task Management, Contact Management etc. To avoid further confusion, we are renaming it as Zoho Mail. While ‘Zoho Mail’ may not do full justice to all the functionality, atleast it points to the core functionality of the application.

The change has been made on our home page and will eventually be made in all places.  It is still in private beta, but we are making rapid progress towards opening it up. We are increasing the user count steadily,  keeping in mind load and system responsiveness. As I posted earlier, a lot more hardware is on the way, which would allow us to offer it to many more users. Thanks for your patience & understanding.

The On-demand version of Zoho Virtual Office had a major update today, which is primarily focussed on providing a new User Interface. The goal of this new interface is to make it more easier for the users to use Zoho Virtual Office effectively.

The Quick Preview of the mails has been replaced by a new Fixed Quick View to decrease the loading time and make it more faster. With this new design, users will have the choice to use the application’s real estate in the way they want it.

Along with these UI enhancements/changes, some minor bugs have also been fixed. Try out the latest Zoho Virtual Office and put your comments below or write us at support(at)zohovo(dot)com.

Since Ismael Ghalimi first took the plunge, (anyone out there who did it even before him?), it is becoming quite frequent now for others to try getting rid of one’s desktop based software and live on a strict ‘web-based productivity applications on a browser’ diet. Oliver Rist of InfoWorld is the latest. He lived for a week like that here’s his final verdict :

Zoho is definitely the standout in the group. It’s the only one that not only offers most of the apps I need but also seems to have a clear vision of where it’s going. And it’s free. ThinkFree and gOffice are similar, but neither has the breadth of apps, features, or collaboration that Zoho does.

There are a lot more insights in his very nice & elaborate article titled “Can Web-based applications outwit, outplay, outlast the desktop?“. Thanks a lot, Oliver & InfoWorld!
