It takes about 5 seconds browsing the products to realise that the feature list has been very carefully engineered to ensure that the commercial version is pretty much the only viable option for most businesses - and the pricing structure has clearly been based around the idea that if Microsoft can charge £N/user over the course of, say, the 3-5 years a server might reasonably be expected to last, so can Zimbra. My apologies, then, if some of my comments are no longer accurate. The last time I looked at Zimbra was a few years ago, and I concede that changes may have been made since then.


Okay, BloodyIron, it seems you may be somehow connected to Zimbra and you want feedback. One of the strange things about Zimbra is that the desktop client is inferior to the web one. We applied some tweaks to SMTP policies and that's about it. Since then, it works and causes no problems. IMAP accounts were migrated with imapsync and some swearing words.

We had to migrate Outlook PSTs manually through a free tool, and it went without a hitch. We have migrated from a 3rd party hosted Exchange to in-house Zimbra (basically because the geniuses at said 3rd party thought it would be a good idea to host all their Exchange data in One Big File on raid-1, with offsite backups in another hemisphere, which eventually made for some interesting stock exchange filings and a hilarious outcome when the temporary announcement account that the hoster set up during the month of downtime was an alias to emails of all the customers that faithfully relayed any mail coming to it to everybody, so the customers promptly discovered they could talk to each other and one of them was a big ass lawyer firm that specializes in class action suits).
