Looking for a straight-forward method to store messages offline? 

Use the Local Folders feature in Zimbra Desktop to archive individual messages (or entire folders) to local storage.  This new feature takes select email out of your online mailbox, providing a convenient way to reduce the size of your online mailbox and stay under a given quota, if any.

Note that by moving messages to Local Folders, messages are removed from your Zimbra account online and stored locally on your computer in the Zimbra Desktop program.  This means that if your computer hard drive crashes your locally archived messages could be lost forever as the messages will not sync back to your Zimbra account online once they are moved to local folders.  Read more...
