Hi All, I'm the Director of Product Management at Ipswitch. In addition to running PM at Ipswitch, I'm also personally managing the Messaging and Collaboration product line.
Certainly this isn't an Ipswitch sales venue, and discussion about other vendor's products is okay, but I'd be remiss not to mention that we (Ipswitch) have completely overhauled our web messaging architecture. IMail web messaging has been in beta for the past 2 months and we've received lots of excellent feedback that has been incorporated into the final release, coming in approximately one month. I'm not trying to discredit the merits of the MailBee WebMail Pro solution but the upcoming IMail Web Messaging will include lots of features (Inbox-Drafts-Sent and Deleted folders, composer with rich text editor, multipart mime support, rules, contacts, synchronized contacts with workgroupshare, preferences...) all of which are included in our base product which, back by popular demand, will be the IMail standalone server. Starting in approximately one month, IMail Server (straight-up, no Antivirus, no Antispam, just straight IMail) will be offered at 5 user levels, to match the same ones used today for ICS Standard and ICS Premium. The base IMail product will also include the new unified Web Administration interface which has also gone through exhaustive beta and usability testing.

MailBee WebMail Pro http://www.afterlogic.com/mailbee/webmail_pro.asp. Cost was $199, and it has HTML email editing capabilities. They're working on an official browser compatibility list, so I don't know about Mac compatibility, but I did find that the HTML editing did not work in Netscape 8 in IE mode and Opera. In those cases, the user doesn't know, they just have a text editing control. Expanded browser compatibility and calendaring will be added in the upcoming release (free to those who already purchased). We liked the interface, and the fact that there was no account setup necessary... just provide a login and password to the mail server and it creates the account automatically. Mail is cached locally in the database as well, so that could be a useful feature for those who use webmail and a mail client interchangeably. Alex at Afterlogic (the company that makes it) was also very helpful and responsive in fixing a bug we found, and freely adds to his suggested feature list... so support seems good. And it's ASP, so the source is available for modification. Oh, and it's easily skinnable... Hope this helps. Darin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Guluk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 1:38 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Web Messaging Oh just post it to the list and get it over with :) We all would like to review any tools that may be available...
