Yeah, it's unfortunate that you're running into that, but I agree with Kevin that I think vmware is the culprit, moreso than the OS or Zimbra.

I have a test server setup where I can screw around with all the settings and otherwise break things without users complaining... and it's running on a dual 600Mhz box with 386MB of RAM with no problems at all (other than a long load time, but that's to be expected on a box like that :-)

If you wish to pursue running it in VMware, I'd also make sure you have plenty of swap setup. Under VMware, it'll be dog slow once it starts doing any significant swaping, but it in theory should at least work.

Have a good one,
