The community version of Zimbra also doesn't come with backup/restore
functionality last I checked.  That said, I do believe I saw a few 3rd
party scripts floating around the Internet to handle this, though I
haven't tried any myself.

Furthermore, even if you wanted to use your own backup solution
(rdiff-backup, Bacula, etc), you still can't easily restore individual
e-mails/mailboxes/etc because Zimbra Community uses some ridiculous form
of maildir+indexing with randomized filenames & paths for storage.

Also, last time I worked with it there was no good way of saving
sent-items to an external IMAP-accounts sent-items folder.

Simon, do these issues still persist in the newer versions?  Also, does
the community version have LDAP support?
