This has been asked many times in the forums and the answer is, you can't. Zimbra is a complete collaboration suite and must be installed as such, the Web UI is an interface to Zimbra. You could always convert to Zimbra (it uses Postfix as the MTA) instead of your current set-up.

hi and thanks for answering.
Unfortunately i cannot use the same Zimbra mta core since we do have our own MTA which could be connected using standard protocols (imap,pop3,ldap). I am trying to find out a "rich" web client and thought Zimbra might be suitable for us.

thanks again.

You can do all of that with Zimbra, have you had a look at the product features and specifications?

As I said, it's part of the complete package and isn't a separate part that can be grafted onto another MTA (like Squirrelmail for example).

Zimbra )apart from the Collaboration Suite part of it) provides all the email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) and anti-spam services needed to run a profession (or home user) mail server - as I mentioned, the MTA in Zimbra is Postfix.

Again, that's not possible. The whole of the package is tightly integrated and no sinlge component can be replaced. You could certainly have have both servers running during any migration, see the Split Domain article in the wiki.
