Zimbra in it's normal MTA form (the webapp comes as part of the MTA
package) is designed to be run on an always-on system which accepts inbound
SMTP from the internet. They do, however, provide an MUA in the form of a
desktop-packaged version of their webapp without the SMTP and POP/IMAP
server last I heard. This desktop package connects to another SMTP/POP/IMAP
server such as the MTA-form of Zimbra or Exchange or Postfix/Dovecot for
the actual sending and receiving of email.
