We also encourage you to explore all things Zimbra with our team and members of the community.
If you connect to it on port 143 and check the capability it should show IDLE, it does on my system. It was in the last developers build which I had installed, I don't know if you still need to activate it but have a look at this thread
You need to set-up Versamail to sync with Zimbra using the Exchange Server setting and it should work. The calendar sync is for the Network Edition, IIRC.
