It was simply a non-scientific comment based on the number of times I've 
been contacted by Zimbra users and the results of Zimbra in this 
[test](http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/ServerStatus). As I noted the test 
is old though and Zimbra might perform much better now.

A quick review of the emails reveal that most of the time it is about 
this [issue](https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3061). In 
short, drafts in MailMate are (currently) saved exactly in the form that 
they are also sent. This means that after sending then MailMate only 
needs to remove the so-called `\Drafts` flag and then move the message 
to Sent Messages. This doesn't work with Zimbra. Removing the `\Drafts` 
flag fails with Zimbra. (I did a workaround in the past, but I'm not 
sure it actually works anymore.)

In any case, Zimbra is certainly a much better choice than some of the 
alternatives. In particular, I do not hesitate with discouraging any use 
of GroupWise IMAP.
