I have it up and running already on a test machine. Seems pretty
straight-forward. I found a nice guide to installing and configuring it
on the Horde wiki, actually. Perhaps someone else can benefit from it as
well.

I'm pretty impressed so far. Another thing about Zimbra that I don't
like is that it keeps all of it's mail stores in some strange numbered
format. You can just access a user's mailbox by name, which could be an
issue down the road with restoring backups, etc.
In this instance, Horde would just replace SquirrelMail, or for that
matter, they could run side-by-side if so desired. Squirrelmail has been
great for my organization for quite a few years, but it's just time for
something a bit more suited to groupware-like use.
Plus, we have an old version of PHP Groupware as a calendar, and I've
never liked the package, and I'd like to combine some of these items
into one package to maintain and worry about.
Thanks again,
Max
