Glad that you got it working again.

You actually used a Commodore 64 as the server? Hard to imagine when that was possible.

Five years and we are still waiting on Zimbra 9 and/or the UI update 😞

What's up with the slow releases?

Not sure. They've done a lot of minor point releases since then, but no real features have updated and the UI is painfully old. They spent two years talking about, and then cancelling the bug UI update - really shot themselves in the foot there showing screenshots, overpromising, and then apparently just giving up. People really put a lot of hope in that and it just turned into vaporware.

Their acquisition by smaller and smaller companies has probably caused a lot of issues as they keep adjusting their focus and whatnot. But five years with no major updates has really showed that they just don't seem to be investing into it like they should. It was such an amazing market leader for so long. Now we worry if any major updates will ever come.

I've found that iOS calendar functions work better with push enabled, so I just turned of all notifications, sound, and such for email. Every couple of hours or so, I'll process my inbox, as well as make sure that I'm at zero before bed and when I wake up. During the workday, I process my inbox about every 40 minutes or so, but constantly work out of my "next" folder. The reason for this is that I found out that constantly trying to keep up with my email was preventing me from really getting into projects and tasks effectively. This way, I can still keep on top of email and address actionables, yet I can still perform non-email tasks effectively.

Setting Postfix up as a smarthost's pretty straightforward. I've done it in reverse as an inbound mail gateway instead of using an MS Exchange Edge Transport role. I'm guessing you'd be allowing access based on IP?

While you want to keep it simple, I can't stress strongly enough to use at least outbound spam filtering. That way, in case you do somehow start churning out spam, it'll get caught before your IP gets blacklisted.
