No, just for some of the features. Blackberry and Outlook (non-IMAP) support
are commercial extras. (cf.
http://www.zimbra.com/products/product_editions.html for the list of what's
in the OSS vs commercial versions).
We're using it where I work (finally migrating off Groupwise) and it works
well. The web interface is actually usable (and I generally dislike web
interfaces) and the outlook support means migration is actually possible in a
mixed environment where the managers have to have their MS tools.
I'm actually considering using the OSS version on my own servers. The java
stack makes it a bit heavy weight for personal use though.
