With the release, the company, a division of Yahoo, released the source code for the product, called ZimbraME (Java Mobile Edition).

People can also use the software with a commercially-supported version of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite 5.0, which the company released earlier this year.

With Java-enabled phones, people can use the downloadable software to get e-mail or access Zimbra's calendar.
