I implemented Zimbra as a corporate mail/calendar/etc at the last
place I worked and it was a workable replacement for Exchange though
it wasn't without it's issues.
At the time all the Windows folks were running VIsta and Outlook 2007
and I was forced to use a beta version of the Outlook connector. The
connector kept Outlook and the ZImbra server in sync for mail, GAL and
calendar. It allowed free/busy functionality once we replaced the self
signed cert that Zimbra provided that Outlook wouldn't trust.
As previously mentioned it's quite a resource hog. The mailstore/IMAP
portion of the system runs out of Tomcat and MySQL + Lucene are the
indexing system. This was running on a dual dual core AMD 64bit system
with 8G of RAM and we regularly saw load averages over 5 and all 8GB
of memory used.
There are a number of good tuning pointers for larger installations
and supposedly version 5.x is much better. I suspect that being from
Comcast being in the middle of their implementation and providing
feedback.

Have you tested this and confirmed that it works well enough not to
Of course. We were just starting the evaluation, but a number of users
were using it to interact with each other.
As much as I dislike this advice, I don't think anything other than
exchange works well with outlook's calendaring.
I would somewhat agree, but Zimbra is working very hard on making
it a thing of the past.
