Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] drafts for web mail
Not even an idea if things are changing drastically for Web Messaging? :o)
I know I have been in your shoes, but we are in ours too! Basically what I
am being hit with is allowing more customization. I am being told to find a
way, IMail and API is what I would like to do, but I need to do something.
Are we looking for beta testers for 6.0? I will so I can get a peek!
