All of the ISPs that I know of use an OpenSource Solution, or their own inhouse mail software, which is usually some bastardized version of an OpenSource application. And usually ISPs don't offer something like IMAP; they don't want to be held responsible for storing someone else's mail, so they use POP3.
In my opinion Zimbra's target isn't service providers, it's enterprises that need a collaboration solution, and that’s what they should focus on because they're doing a damn good job.
Now if you're talking about internally to an ISP then its back to the business side where Zimbra would be appropriate and they should pay the standard corporate price.
