I am always wary about FOSS which have a commercial version.

FOSS is alright if it is some low-level or common application supported by some university or foundation co-funded by a few big industry players, e.g., apache, mozilla, cyrus, postgre, subversion, cvs, etc, etc.
Zimbra does not fit this category. Zimbra wants and needs to make money. Programmers have bills to pay, you know.
