As I'm not a Zimbra user, I don't feel it would be right for me to
comment on this.

However - you do know that Zimbra has now been bought by Yahoo, don't
you? The new owners may run down the open-source aspect of it as much
as possible.

Secondly, could you run Zimbra in a VM on 6.06, running under some
newer version of Ubuntu or something for the storage support you need?
