Install Zimbra on Ubuntu 8.04
Zimbra has both commercial and Open Source versions. The Open Source project is very interesting in that it has many features that people want and looks great. You can use Zimbra Desktop to gather mail from many different accounts including Zimbra Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL, Outlook or any other work or personal email account using POP or IMAP.
You can download the desktop application from here:
http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html
It is easy to install and set up your account.
Zimbra Desktop has calendars, contacts, document management, etc. to provide all the features you want as well.
Install on Ubuntu 8.04
The Zimbra package has not been created for 8.10 so you will need to install on 8.04. You can choose between the 32-bit or 64-bit system. Download the zcs file from Zimbra and place it in a directory on your system so you can create a new install directory. As root you can place it in /usr or /root.
Pre-Requisites
There are a few packages you will need to install to prepare for the installation. Install these and make sure you have no errors.
sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libstdc++5 libltdl3
Move to the location of the zcs file and run this command to expand it.
sudo tar zxvf zcs-5.0.12_GA_2789.UBUNTU8.20090126112326.tgz
Now move into the directory that was just created.
cd zcs-5.0.12_GA_2789.UBUNTU8.20090126112326
One other thing that needs to be set is the hostname of your machine. Be sure that you have the hostname as mail.example.com or whatever domain you will use.
Install Zimbra
The Zimbra installtion is an easy process that can be done by executing this command:
sudo ./install.sh
The first section of the install will look for a previous installation so it should not find anything, or if it was install previously you will end up doing an update. If you have problems you can always go to the log that is listed here in the /tmp directory.
