At CNET News they say: "Zimbra's server software is Java-based software
that competes chiefly with Microsoft Exchange. People who need to access
it to use e-mail, calendars and contact lists can use a basic Web
browser interface or a fancier Ajax-based interface."
(http://news.cnet.com/Zimbra-to-offer-Ubuntu-Linux-
support/2100-7344_3-6181361.html).

Here is a quote from Mark Shuttleworth regarding the Zimbra Desktop
(AFAIK you can run the server and have a feature-rich web frontend
without installing that client software): "The Zimbra Desktop client
will not only enhance the usability features of the world-class Zimbra
Collaboration Suite, but will also provide the Ubuntu community with
another compelling application for their desktop of choice."
(http://ajax.sys-con.com/node/354316).

Don't know what you would need the Zimbra Desktop for. Don't know if it
is of much use without the Zimbra server, either. This bug report seems
to relate to the Zimbra server software, not to the client software.

Anyway: According to the article quoted from, Mark Shuttleworth's quote
is nearly two and a half years old or even older. However, there's still
no Zimbra to be found in Synaptic.
