And I will admit the setup is a little easier than thunderbird, but on an aging xp machine (~512mb of ram) the zimbra desktop will infuriate its user with its lack of responsiveness (I uninstalled within a week). However, my thunderbird is lightning fast and has the ability to search/surf the internet (contrary to the article above. The feature is in an add-on called thunderbrowse.) btw: I find the extensibility of thunderbird extremely useful, but with a new laptop on the way I am seriously considering zimbra again.

The downloaded file was more like 50MB. It cannot display both the date and time that an email was received at. It shows the time for emails for that day day and the date only for all others days. On the other hand, it automated the transfer of my Yahoo mail, in Folders, to GMail, using Labels instead of Folders. You win some and you lose some!
