No as I said it does not have all the synchronizing stuff but rock solid email server, sadly Zimbra in my humble opinion not really free, but of course there is http://www.opengroupware.org/ http://www.citadel.org/ http://www.open-xchange.com/EN/developer/index.html and http://kolab.org to mention a few all with their own pro's and con's
All the "free" solutions depend on you spending an extra-ordinary amount of time configuring them.
The amount of QA needed to pull something like Zimbra off is staggering (sometimes it's still not enough QA....)
My own mail is qmail-only - I gave-up trying to get all the calendaring-packages running long ago. But at work, we have Zimbra and is is really cool IMO. It has a slick web-interface, it sync's with Outlook, Mac - and then there is this great/horrible fat client called Zimbra Desktop... ;-)
I have to admit, though, that the list-price for a small amount of mailboxes looks not so cheap (esp. if you want Zimbra Mobile). (How many mailboxes does the original author want to replace, actually?)
I was running the mailserver for a local organization and that was 30+ users on top of my 10+. They have gone to another site, so I am back to 10+. For now...
But still, I'm kind of fascinated by it - mostly, because it's very openly developed and by browsing through their bugzilla and P4 repository-webinterface, you get a good idea of what current issues there are, what would get fixed by going to a newer version (and which new bugs to expect). I wish every vendor did that.
We run it on CentOS, BTW (test/dev environment via Virtuozzo, production on physical hardware).
