Preface
Zimbra is an open-source server and client software for messaging and collaboration—email, group calendaring, contacts, and web document management and authoring. The Zimbra server is available for Linux, Mac OS X, appliances, and virtualization platforms. The Zimbra Web 2.0 Ajax client runs on Firefox, Safari, and IE, and features easy integration/mash-ups of web portals, business applications, and VoIP using web services.
The book will show readers how to install and configure Zimbra for use with the Web Client, Outlook, and Mobile devices. Readers will learn about Zimbra Collaboration Suite architecture, and get an overview of the Administration Console of Zimbra Collaboration Suite. It will show how to set up users, how to use Zimbra as your main email server, security, spam, and virus issues. It'll wrap up by looking at some Zimlets—Zimbra mash-ups—as well as backing up and managing performance.
A compact Administrators Guide, it is friendly, and contains plenty of step-by-step instructions for installation and configuration of Zimbra, as well as useful references and checklists.

The only book I could find on Zimra, this book was easy to understand and follow, but unfortunately it was nowhere near comprehensive and it was far too basic on administrative features. It did not, for instance, help me grok the complex user rights granting features or complex server tasks. On the other hand it did not delve into enough of the important user features to serve adequately as a sort of end-user/domain-administrator's introduction, either. It is a good start, don't get me wrong, but it very much needs to be updated and expanded.
