Hi Scott: >> The software should run fine with the existing activation codes. The SmarterMail version does require the new activation system, but as a new product, that's just how it works. <<
Uh - okay, so then this point is mute. If the MAC validation is NOT performed on the Imail product (and is only reported as information) - then this takes away some of the urgency. >> Actually, the IMail version should work exactly as before, without any availability/installability issues. << Well - it is my understanding that there is now an "automated" Setup again and people have either been reporting (or possibly only speculating?) that it might fiddle with my carefully laid out configuration files and or message templates. It was my understanding that these were Imail users - and it certainly would create both an availability and installability issue if my configuration was rendered useless after running Setup! It certainly has prevented me from installing this Beta (which I normally would have done the moment it was available.) If the Setup doesn't have an "programs only" option - that leaves any user-configurable files intact - then it can't be used by anyone.
