actually a pretty large industrial group in Coimbatore migrated to zimbra 'community edition' - in one month they migrated back to Microsoft exchange. Reason - 1. grindingly slow, and more important 2. very rudimentary search features. These problems are not there in the editions developed in the closet. There are hundreds of these bogus open source apps around. Although there are quite a few where there is a single edition - the paid for plans offer support and customisation, but the code is the same.
