From what I have seen on Ipswich's site as well as on this thread it soundsas though if you are running Imail 8.x (or any other version) and do not pay to upgrade to the new collaboration suite you will receive absolutely no support after your current service agreement expires. Has anyone had a chance to verify this with Ipswich yet? If we could get another year of support for Imail 8.x it might be worth it to stay with Imail for another year, but if we won't have any support from Ipswich I think it would be prudent to look at another product. Even with the discount's for existing customers $12,000 to upgrade 2 imail servers just because Imail is forcing us to doesn't make much sense.
What about next year, I would almost bet that the service contract renewals will be higher than they were with regular Imail??

Ipswitch is "abandoning" Imail for their new Collaboration Suite.

Ok, I think I missed something here. What is everyone talking about here, is Imail prohibiting add on's such as declude in future versions (I sure hope not), is declude launching a new version for another platform? The panic level just went up with those last few emails.

You have been strangely quiet. Are you in shock or formulating a plan -- hopefully the latter?
Although I will admit to shock (disbelief would be a more appropriate term) when I first heard about this. I didn't think that Ipswitch would actually do it. But they did.
As for formulating a plan, that is in the works. But a lot will depend on whether Ipswitch is smart enough to fix the problem, or whether they truly
isolate the majority of their loyal customers.
It may be too early to ask, but what does the future hold for Declude/Imail or Declude and _____ mail server product (fill in the blank)?
It's too early to say. A lot will depend on how Ipswitch responds to their customers -- I can't imagine that they will completely ignore this. A business can't survive by destroying a loyal customer base, when they have the product to offer.
But I can definitely say this: Declude isn't going to go away, no matter what Ipswitch may do.
