[SOLVED] Zimbra collection every e-Mail from different Accounts

[Cimme]

Hello together from Germany,

currently I'm searching a software/server solution that collects all my e-Mails from different Accounts (freemail-services, googlemail, yahoomail, mobileMe, some imap- and pop3-accounts) and gives me the possibillity to use ONE solution for my Windows and for my Mac-PCs to have the SAME e-Mails on every pc.
After I read some docs and websites, I think Zimbra would fit my needs. The problem now is that i never used or administrated a mail-Server.

Is it possible to run Zimbra OpenSource-Edition on a virtual machine (parallels desktop 3 on my mac mini) for Home-Use only? Zimbra should not replace an existing mail-server, just collect my e-Mails and provide a central solution to get e-Mails and reply them.

I hope you understood the problem with my bad english-description.

Thanks a lot for your thoughts and answers.

Greetings from Germany

I'll use Postbox as a client on every PC I have.

You've posted this in the /etc forum and it's not too clear what product you're talking about. If it's the Zimbra Desktop or the Zimbra Collaboration Suite then both of them can collect external mail. Zimbra Desktop is a client and Zimbra Collaboration Suite is a mail and collaboration suite. You could have got your answer from the documentation/product features or searching the forums.
