Let me see the guide you followed in order to do that although I don't love Zimbra that much because accessing it via the web requires so much bandwidth - unless this changed. I have seen http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Installing_GNR_on_FreeBSD_7.2_i386 but wonder if you run the latest zimbra on your FreeBSD. Does it meet my requirements? I ported zimbra to freebsd starting with 5.0.16 which is still running on one of my boxes. It was a patch designed to run - not for full integration and I lost my interest back then. Starting with zimbra 6 i made a complete rewrite of the source tree to support freebsd natively, meaning no more crude hacks. I have been using and maintaining the wiki+patch since then (because i spent years looking for all-in-one-email freebsd solution). Zimbra team is pretty open to new ideas but there is no reason to support freebsd with no freebsd user-base. Use zimbra, we might get it once. Hell, it is supported on mac.. I am running 6.0.4 in production and I will gladly help anyone with installation. Linux rules the commercial skies nowadays so every little bit helps. There is *absolutely* no reason for zimbra not to run correctly on freebsd because 99% of the code is fully portable, leaving behind only some linux-specific-scripts for statistics (disk,memory etc.). Please check http://www.zimbra.com/forums/installation/33477-zcs-6-0-1-ported-freebsd7.html for more info. Zimbra offers mobile, html, ajax web interface. If your users prefer simple visual interface go for squirrelmail. Sadly, most users prefer flashy fancy stuff. s.home | help
