Well it maybe a great step to regain ground in mail section, which it is loosing to gmail, Also I think its a measure to counter gmail for enterprises market, Google is doing good with Google apps and yahoo needed to counter that and zimbra might actually pull that off. Zimbra is an open source framework which allows developers and enterprises to integrate their services with zimbra services, Organizations have integrated zimbra with ERP and Inventory systems.. Ask me "How open source ppl earn money" And I might have an answer for you this time :)..
