I'm not sure of the cost -- I believe it's about $300/user --
but Zmail is, indeed the "advanced" version of mush.
Zmail's two main improvements are an X/Motif interface (and
quite a good one) and an improved script language.
Here's contact info for Siren Software, the publishers:

Description: Zmail email software targets Unix or
proprietary multiplatform environments. It
supports common Unix mail transport agents such
as sendmail, smail, /bin/mail, and any others
compatible with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
and UUCP protocols. It also works with
gateways to IBM's PROFS office system, DEC
VMS-based systems, and PC or Apple networks.
Besides availability across platforms, Zmail
works across several interfaces including Open
Look, Motif, full-screen, and the command-line
as well. With Zmail, you can open and search
multiple folders at the same time; trace
multiple-message conversations and piece them
back together; use corporate forms and
templates; merge messages into digests, and
attach code, documents, graphics, and audio
messages. The software can also sort and file
mail without your having to read it.
