最近几年还有比Gmail更棒的邮件服务吗？在我看来应该没有。以前初次见到zenbe.com的时候，我在想也许zenbe.com很快能够超越Gmail，独树一帜。

与Gmail一样，zenbe.com同样是一个基于Web的在线Email服务，同时具备许多创新之处。不过zenbe.com的发展似乎有点缓慢，看来创意确实独特且新颖，但想超越Gmail，还不够资格。

zenbe.com使用了大量的AJAX技术，因此在用户体验度方面还是非常不错的，它的特色之处在于，在提供基础的Email服务的同时，内部还集成许多其它应用及第三方服务，比如可当做在线版Outlook，收取其它邮箱中的邮件，及集成了日历、行事历、上传文件管理器功能，更特别的是它还提供了个性化主页功能及集成FaceBook。

最近收到zenbe.com的更糟糕的更新消息，免费个人邮箱将终结，转入全面收费。对于之前用zenbe做主邮箱的朋友，真的是杯具！幸好，优秀的Gmail还免费的活着。

Zenbe Free Personal Mail Service Ending

Dear pipolife©zenbe.com,

On February 28, 2010, we will turn off the free Zenbe Personal Mail service (the one with the green background). After February 28, 2010 you will no longer be able to login to your pipolife©zenbe.com account on Zenbe Personal, or access it via POP or IMAP.

We greatly enjoyed creating an innovative, free email service and receiving excellent feedback from users like you. We are a small team committed to building well-designed, high-quality products. Like all small businesses, we’ve had to adapt to the needs of our users and the demands of the market. To do that effectively we built a vastly improved version of Zenbe Mail from the ground up. We run it in a top-tier data center and focus heavily on reliability, performance, and individualized customer support. We also bundle in our acclaimed Shareflow product that offers a truly unique approach to group communication.

We listened to your feedback and worked hard to keep the original, free personal email product available to existing users as long as we could, even as we moved forward with our new email product and other premium services. However, we no longer feel we can provide the quality of service and support we aspire to for the free email product. We want to be up-front with our free users, and give you the information and tools you need to move to a new email service.

We are proud of the new and improved Zenbe Mail. It’s not free, but it’s affordable. We hope you take a look at the new design and features. If you decide to sign up, use the promo code UPGRADE50 and you’ll receive 50% off your first three months of service.

We do recognize that you have many choices and may wish to find a different free email service. We’ve written a detailed migration guide that describes how to move your Zenbe data, regardless of which service you choose. We encourage you to use the comments section there to share any migration tips with other Zenbe users.

Zenbe Personal Migration Guide

It may take up to a few days to move all your email from Zenbe to a new service so please read through the guide soon.

Feel free to use the comments section on the announcement page or migration guide to ask any questions, or email us for specific help at migration@zenbe.zendesk.com.

Sincerely,
The Zenbe Team
