Where is the actual source of this information? The Zimbra front page says 20M mailboxes (does not say how many are paid or not). There's no press release or RSS entry.

The last number I see approved in some way by Zimbra is a 20M paid mailboxes article from January on http://www.zimbra.com/about/news.html

What, they gained 20 million new paying customers in the last six weeks (with no big, new deal with another mail provider)?

And where is that chart from in the venturebeat article? There are no sources for anything listed.

I don't find this information credible.




And there's a new CNET entry that says 40M but... it references the venturebeat link as its source not any actual Zimbra statement.

EDIT:

The author of that says: "I talked with the company. They just haven't released the formal PR yet"

I guess we will see later. Interested to know what the number actually means and how on Earth that amount of recent growth could be possible.


Facebook is adding 700k+ users a day. But they aren't facebook.


And those users aren't paying anything.
