Here you go John from the Zimbra Forums looks like chattermail is the answer!

For anyone that’s interested, you can achieve the same ‘push’ features that Blackberry & Exchange 2003 (SP2) have. I have tested this with the current version of Zimbra and a Treo 650 (also works with a Treo 600) and an email client called ChatterEmail (ChatterEmail is exclusively for the Treo 600/650) from here http://www.chatteremail.com – email arrives in the Zimbra and, voila, almost instantly on your phone/PDA.

There may, of course, be other solutions to this but I thought someone might be in the same position as me and needing instant email notification – at a relatively low cost with Zimbra & ChatterEmail.

Thanks so much John. We appreciate you stopping by and please come back again! We have got a lot of emails and responses to your iPhone support.

Has the response been overwhelming for you guys?

Keep up the amazing open source work!

Zimbra Rocks!

If the CEO is in today, I am supposed to grab his CC and get the iPhone today to start testing.

Here's what we want to do, and this is a precursor to a blog I will make when we get some test time on the phone.

1. Marketing materials on the phone via flash/quicktime/mpgs/itunes movies.
2. Replace blackberry with sexy iphone
3. Mail sync - probably though pop/imap
4. Calendar - probably going to use Domino Access for MS Outlook, as MS' Outlook -> Domino connector sucks
5. Contacts -> Totally not sure how I am going to do this. I may be able to use the DAMO.

Those are my objectives. I'll let everyone know how it works when I get some time in it....probably next week.

Hey Sloth hows that iPhone testing going? How is the integration with exchange – has it been smooth? Any big issues?

Dead, freaking sexy.

A big F-U to the MS Exchange crew….even though the iPhone works with Exchange/Outlook.
