Yes, the Zimbra Desktop software is not fantastic. However, this page is not for Zimbra Desktop, but Zimbra Collaboration Suite, the actual server, which I and many others have been using very successfully for years, and would never give up. It's simply fantastic.
Zimbra has a fantastic reputation in the industry. Not only does Yahoo continue to use Zimbra, but many universities, enterprises (i.e. comcast), and parts of US government use Zimbra. It has a very active open source community behind it as well.

Horrible app. All this raving about it, I tried to put in my yahoo email and password and it just did nothing. I completely uninstalled it, reinstalled it, tried again and it didn't work just like before. Said it was unable to find yahoo LOL.
But the worst of the whole thing is, I emailed these people well over a week ago and they never responded.
I think this company is attempting to harvest emails and logins for their own use. I would definitely NOT trust a company who refuses to respond to a query about their app where you have to put in your EMAIL PASSWORD.
Beware.

No idea.
But do your homework if have an investment in ppc hardware that is more than adequate for your needs before buying.

It not only acts as a very cost-effective "replacement" for Outlook, it bests it in every way. I have users using the native AJAX interface, users attached via IMAP using Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail and MobilMail (iPhone), even a few using the chat functions via Jabber in iChat. It all just works, and works *wonderfully.*
Top notch software. The Open Source version is great and FREE (that's what we use), and the Network (paid) edition is stellar, and very inexpensive.

Zimbra is similar to Exchange with OWA. If you don't know what that means and/or have never installed Exchange + OWA, don't even *bother* thinking about considering the option of installing Zimbra.
This is very specific server software and needs an administrator to install - a really good systems administrator with Unix experience. So if you are looking a drag-and-drop-installable groupware (there is no such thing), then this is definitely the wrong app for you.
Zimbra is really nice, you can just go to the website and check it out, there is a demo-version installed where you can test it and see if it could fit your companys requirements and then tell your sysadmin to have a look at it and see if he can install it.

I would like very much to know your opinion and experience about this Collaboration suite.
Thanks

I AM going to comment on the amount of "stuff" installed and changed on my computer. Zimbra needs to make a number of fundamental changes to your system. For example, it created it's own user and group without asking. I understand that it needs to do this to work but if you install this you need to be aware that uninstalling it will be much more complicated than your average OS X application. There are files and logs and configurations that are changed all over the place. If you have some skill with unix and the command line, you will be able to track them all down... eventually.

In the end couldn't get this running; kept complaining about DNS host name on setup. No app is worth this trouble.

I must have done something wrong during install with this thing, because it's nowhere to be seen in my Applications folder... Found some refenreces to it in an Opt folder in my MacintoshHD main folder, but nothing at user level.
How come?
Aside from that, I can't really judge how good this product is, but I remember installing Zimbra Desktop (now shareware?) and using it for a while. It worked fine, but there's one thing I sorely missed that Thunderbird has: an ad-blocker... So I dumped it. I'd like to try this suite, but first I have to install it...

There is no conventional user interface.
It is not an application that you use to read and write emails in the way Thunderbird or Mail.app are.
It can be installed and run on a desktop Mac, but it's not designed for desktop users.
