  "works fine for me"

  August 29, 2010  |   By humhum

  Version: Zimbra Desktop 1.0.4

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  I am looking into an IMAP-alternative, and Zimbra Desktop was easy enough to install. You do need to have the correct account settings, of course, but I had no issue with them (which I did in Entourage!).
  
  The overall feel is of a Windows-app, but it runs very smoothly imo. There is no unified Inbox-view, as Mail has, nor a way to see three panes on one level. I have not yet found a way to import Zimbra messages into Devonthink's database system. However, I still like the app after about a week of use.
  
  What may stop me from using it long-term is iCal integration, which is essential to me, if only because of the iPhone.I may have to look into the Zimbra suite, which allegedly has iPhone syncing, and is free for individual users.

  "Okay software but uses waay to much resources"

  November 29, 2008  |   By alangel

  Version: Zimbra Desktop 0.90b1344

  Pros

  - Probably the only mail client that can handle Gmail's conversations
  - Nice and easy setup
  - Calendar syncs with web calendars

  Cons

  - Uses a whole lot of resources - and is therefore impossible to have it running in the "background"
  - Boring themes/designs
  - Getting error message when trying to import contacts from Outlook
  - Just a few languages

  Summary

  This could have been a great product. Just too bad that it makes it hard to use your PC while Zimbra is running! It demands way way way to much resources from the computer's processor - actually Outlook runs much easier. Not good enough, Yahoo!!

  "yahoo zimbra desktop 9.0"

  August 6, 2008  |   By neuralstatic

  Version: Zimbra Desktop 0.90b1249

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  i'm using the yahoo zimbra desktop 9.0, and it works amazingly well.
  
  it's an offline reader for your yahoo account. stores all your emails, in a clone of the website's gui. i just leave this running and never go to mail.yahoo.com again. you can reply, sort mails, delete, mark spam... all the features but offline.
  
  changes synchronize on next check.
  
  brilliant stuff. also has some integration with addressbook, calendar etc, which i don't use.
