>>>so what are the pros and cons of going to a webmail based solution like Zimbra Server for a company of 1000 + employees.

>>>I come from an exchange w/ outlook background and a Apple Mail w/ iCal background. I find it odd that all employees will have to log on to IE or Firefox to access their "company mail" just like gmail or hotmail.

I think this is the trend. You log on to the company mail using a browser. My wife teaches in a large school district and they have a central server which they log on to. My kids went to Colorado State Uni. and the had a central server that was accessed through a browser. My kids seem to accept this better than I do. I use Thunderbird...

One of the pluses would be: one, very well maintained, virus scanner. Each PC wouldn't have to have a scanner.
