Zimbra Desktop is useful for aggregating your various webmail accounts. You know those email accounts that you check so seldomly? Zimbra can help keep track of them. Assuming Yahoo Mail, Gmail, and Hotmail are the leading free webmail providers, Zimbra has support for all of them.
As far as I know, it is the only desktop software that is able to sync with a free Yahoo account. There is no problem with Gmail since Google openly allows POP and IMAP access to Gmail (Zimbra also has a pre-configured Gmail set-up for convenience). Finally, Microsoft does seem to allow Hotmail access over POP; here are the settings to use. One annoying thing for Hotmail in Zimbra is that your mail is deleted from the Hotmail server's mailbox after you've downloaded from the Hotmail server to Zimbra, and folders you may have created in Hotmail are not sync'd to Zimbra.
You can also add your work or ISP mail accounts to Zimbra Desktop as long as you know the POP or IMAP and SMTP settings to use. Zimbra itself is a decent email client so it's ideal as a one-stop-shop for your email.
