Well, fetchmail can read POP or IMAP from various servers. Don't know anything
about Zimbra, don't *want* to know anything about M$.

That's tough: you'll need to leave the mail server-side so that you can
access it from all the different machines, but that leaves you vulnerable
to network outages. offlineIMAP might be a good solution for you.
I get my email (three different servers) on a laptop that travels
between home and work. The setup I have is enough for that.
