V,
I definitely agree with all that you said. It
seems that everyone wants it now but no one is willing to get involved in
creating it ( with a few exceptions,
mainly most everyone on this list).Allot of use have made contributions in
one way or another to this list that everyone has benefited ( the number of hits on my users guide shows that)
Although
I only know enough about API and ASP to be very dangerous I do see the
benefits. If I can be of any use by testing what you guys create or anything
else by all means please let me know. I do not mind blowing up (re-configure,
I mean ;) ) my test box for worth-while testing.
So
go ahead and add me to the petition.

Gosh, sorry about that! Seems like OE
went nuts on me, I only sent it once as far as I can tell.
PS. Change is never accomplished by those
who say why something new can NOT be done. That is easy to do and
therefore common in every place you go. It is seeing a way to change
things that is usually far more difficult than actually changing them.
I do not discount that making an SDK would be a real job... might it
be as hard as Microsoft re-inventing themselves to catch the Internet
rush? I doubt it! Might it be as important to us and to
Ipswitch? I strongly think so. Bet against that if you will, but
don't bet much. The total package you offer will be all that keeps
Internet companies alive within 18 months. I don't care to be seen as
a leader or something like that on this issue, just a facilitator. I
don't have idle time to spare on anything. This is a serious need and
I see a lot of people on here wanting this, and have had quite a few
responses already today on this topic to confirm that. Does anyone
have a better suggestion? Would you rather I just drop it? I am
near just looking for a server with an API and starting over. I will
not be one of the guys left hanging on to the old days. I was a big
Novell guy in the mid 90's and I saw the same things coming down the pike
then, and got the same "Can't be done" excuses then too...

Anyone else getting 6 postings of this message?
Just trying to figure out if it is my server, or the list server.....or if
Vaughn is just really eager!
;-)
Anyone want to do a round two? Let's face it the
future of ISP's and IT departments relies on the services that they can
offer, how closely those services can be integrated with existing
business models, and how rich the features are. I am not beating
up on the IMAIL web interface, I just think that there needs to be an
API set for their own good. If ISP's all become ASP's who will buy
mail server's that can not be integrated in to applications? We
need this thing too. We are all invested in Ipswitch / IMAIL and
know and trust it.
If you would like to re-petition Ipswitch for an API,
please send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I will collect and add them to the first petition list and send
them in again. I did get a response, from Ipswitch, last time
thanking me for doing the legwork and promising consideration, but a it
has been 6 or 8 months since then and not a creature has
stirred not even a mouse... [whoops] I mean nothing at all has been
heard on it. I said last time that I thought an API set would be
of value and that I would be glad to pay for it. Any
seconds? I think there needs to be a serious number of
registered IMAIL users names in there to get action. I say now as
I always have that Ipswitch is a responsive company, we just have to
make some noise on this one...

Serdar,
You are not
alone. We have petitioned IPSWITCH for an API set and are all
hoping to see it in version 6. Someone mentioned another
platform on this list that supports API calls into
it...
What was that?

As I mentioned before I have to
rewrite all the Web interface with ASP but I don't know what
methods to use to access mailboxes(inbox,sent,etc..) and delete
messages.
Is there anybody can help me?
