Zimbra Desktop is the next generation leap forward for Web 2.0 applications - now you can have Zimbra's Ajax-based collaboration experience online and offline.
That means when you are out of the office without a connection (say, in a plane, train, or automobile), you can keep working without missing a beat.
Zimbra Desktop will help you write emails, add new appointments, edit documents; when you re-connect changes will be automatically synced to the Zimbra Server.
