Zimbra E-mail is very, very easy to use.
It has the flexibility to provide mobile base, thick client and thin web base client.
Pros
It has very good Web base UI which is very easy to use.
Cons
The support is a bit so so maybe because of change of so many owners of the company. The web ui can use skin option to make it look and feel like different email platform in the market, e.g. if someone is use to outlook or gmail ui then a them/skin could provide that
