Imail does not support ODBC connection to SQL it will only support
connections to Access and should not be called ODBC compatible. We have
brought up many issues with tech support and have been told each time "well
it works with access". We looked at version 5 for the ODBC claims and are
now paying a developer $6,500 to develop a mail server that will work with
ODBC that way it is meant to work. BTW this mail server is 65% complete and
in testing is 35% faster using ODBC then Imail every will be.
