[Zimbra]

Unlike the previous correspondent, I actually found the IMAP server to be
pretty solid and would be curious what lead that person to dislike it
(though that may be a bit afield for this list).

It was simply a non-scientific comment based on the number of times I've been contacted by Zimbra users and the results of Zimbra in this [test](http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/ServerStatus). As I noted the test is old though and Zimbra might perform much better now.

A quick review of the emails reveal that most of the time it is about this [issue](https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3061). In short, drafts in MailMate are (currently) saved exactly in the form that they are also sent. This means that after sending then MailMate only needs to remove the so-called `\Drafts` flag and then move the message to Sent Messages. This doesn't work with Zimbra. Removing the `\Drafts` flag fails with Zimbra. (I did a workaround in the past, but I'm not sure it actually works anymore.)

In any case, Zimbra is certainly a much better choice than some of the alternatives. In particular, I do not hesitate with discouraging any use of GroupWise IMAP.
