Couldn't figure out how to configure it, your site doesn't mention
it's supported in Zimbra anyway so I just junked it and chose
Quicktime notification instead.

No need to respond on my account, I am not going to try again, it's
just not important to me. I am happy to hear that it is wildly
popular, though, and wish you continued success.

Have you tried contacting zimbra support, maybe it's something they should know about.

It's not Growl that needs to “work in” Zimbra; it's Zimbra that needs
to talk to Growl. Growl just listens for notifications; it doesn't go
into other applications and pull them out.

I did some searching, and you need to be using Zimbra Desktop beta 3
or later:

Using the website alone won't work, and older betas and alphas may not
work, either.

Also, you need to turn it on in Zimbra's Preferences. It's the fourth
checkbox in the list of notification methods.

So far, it's still downloading all my old email, and it definitely
does not post new-mail notifications while it's doing that. So, I'll
have to test it later, after it finishes with the old stuff.
