Introduction
Zimbra is a client and server platform for next-generation messaging and collaboration. Due to the setup process of Zimbra this is not a pre-configured Proxmox VE appliance yet but we describe the steps to install Zimbra on the http://download.proxmox.com/appliances/system/ubuntu-8.0-standard_8.04-3_amd64.tar.gz template. Zimbra is known to work well on OpenVZ.
This HowTo is based on the following Zimbra version: zcs-6.0.1_GA_1816.UBUNTU8_64.20090911235613.tgz
