contink, have you seen the Zimbra Desktop client, which is currently available for beta testing? http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html The next update, scheduled for mid-December, will also allow the Zimbra Desktop client to serve as an IMAP or POP client -- meaning you can also pull in mail from other IMAP or POP services into the Zimbra Desktop client.
