Zimbra has a toaster for Mac, and a toaster for Windows…but didn’t have a toaster for Linux until pbruna came along with his adaptation of the checkgmail program by Owen Marshall. Linux fanboys rejoice, your toaster is here (bread not included).
If you haven’t had time to drop by the forums lately here’s a quick preview of a recent community contributed project.
Our Linux users have been keeping an eye on this RFE, as it would make a nice complement to Zimbra Desktop.

PBruna has come to the rescue with a toaster-like sibling!

Enjoy!
