can any body help?

Welcome to the forums.

This topic has been covered many times in the forums, did you search first?

What was in the install log? Do you have correct DNS A & MX records set? Is the /etc/hosts file set correctly? Which operating system? Is there any other errors in the Zimbra logs? Have you made sure there's no other mail server running on your system?
