More Details... It requires 153 MB Webspace For a First time "install" turn off antivirus and re-enable afterwards Does ask for Firewall access later. Posted elswhere on the Forum too by Me Quote:
I have been playing around with (Yahoo)Zimbra Desktop which if you Send any Mail from that program whoever recieves it(also Using Zimbra) Gets your Name(The account holder) displayed instead of your Email address,which is visible if you Pass the Mouse pointer over it. A very good simple idea Spammers would have to make 100's of accounts to Spam from here So if you Use this like an Internal Mail The Security Must be Quite Good NOTE External Mail even from Yourself is Unchanged! Perhaps they want to look at that for a future update? And all the Different Email Types have been kept apart...Am Running AOL as I Post this, Adding Yahoo later.
Other Issues Some of the minor Buttons Not working. Layout is not bad.Notes Hyperlinks made here when they have Landed at the Other End are non runners Yet they work when recieved by the Program!
Despite these Bugs And Others to be found I think this is going to be rather good and Mozilla/Thunderbird will have a challenger for its W/U Gold award soon
I shall give it 8/10 with the bugs and an easy 9 if they are fixed The Web based Client(Due in 9ish? months) won't rate much if they are still in Situ PS Something I don't know what to do. How to setup IMAP access on Gmail to make it display here Can do POP. Gmails IMAP Setup list is out of Date .Only Option is to Risk using the *Other option  http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=75726 HELP! PPS The "Sychronise mail" button can top up your Mail. You can Clear the Mail totally Leaving the Original Mail on the Server intact. And if you made a Mistake or retain a Post on Zinbra and Delete the Original ...Worth a play about with 
NO Spam has come across to Zinbra, but its early days
