What are people doing that's so expensive? I could have 10x - 50x the number of mailboxes as I have and it wouldn't cost me any more than it does now, other than some disks.... which aren't expensive.
I guess I would probably move from the community version to the service provider version, but at that point that's under $0.20/mailbox/month. Not really a major expense. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis Bergman" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 8:08:29 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Roundcube For me it wasn't about difficulty it was about expense. Email, at least how we did it, was a cost center not a profit center. I kept it until I sold and wish I would have ditched it much sooner. It was by far the biggest tech support PITA. I did learn afterward that the longer someone has an email address the more they are willing to pay to keep it. I have been raising he fee we charge to use those old emails. I am now at $250 a year for a single email and I have people begging me not to cut it off. I am still going to, but I think it is interesting since I used to give it away. I guess what I am saying is that if you do not charge a decent amount for it, why do it? The there is the whole minimum volume to be profitable thing that comes into play. I just would not keep doing something that doesn't make money. If it does, more power to you. On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 7:18 AM Mike Hammett < [email protected] > wrote: There seems to be two camps.

We just quit it for our customer base...and only had 2-3 complaints. Everyone already has an email address.

Wondering if anyone has run into hiccups or weird things when using roundcube in a production environment. </blockquote>
