The author clearly states that these are web client alternatives to the popular Gmail (which is by far the most widely used web email service, hence why it was chosen over the many others that do exist). It then goes to say in order to use them, you will need to also host your own email server, and says a guide for those will be coming in the future. Zimbra though actually is also a server making it a complete package.
So, the title is accurate as this is a start to building a alternative to the popular Gmail service. Hope this helps. Thanks.
How I first heard about them was 7 years ago, shortly after I bought an HP laptop (and went through plenty of hurdles with Linux), when I wanted to get a Linux logo for the laptop to replace the Windows Vista logo it came with. I quickly came upon System76 and the free stickers they send out. Been a fan ever since. Wish I would had found them before I purchased the HP.
