Maybe you are lucky because your company or ISP uses Zimbra as its email server. Do you know you can synchronize your contacts and calendars with iSync? But if the required Zimbra iSync connector is not provided by your company or ISP, it's quite hard to find. Here's what you need to do.

First, download the full OS X 10.4 or 10.5 server evaluation version from their downloads page (it's 200MB). After it's downloaded, mount the disk image and open the zcs.mpkg package with Pacifist. Dig down on this path in Pacifist: zcs.mpkg » zimbra-store.pkg » opt » zimbra » Jetty-6.1.5 » webapps » zimbra » downloads. Once at the bottom, extract zimbra-isync-5.0.6_GA_2301.MACOSX_UB.dmg somewhere on your drive.

Finally, mount the disk image and install zimbra-isync.pkg. Congratulations, you have now a new System Preferences panel called Zimbra, where you have to enter your Zimbra account information. Once you've done that, you can then sync via iSync.
