Hi Joe,
Thanks for the comments.
Ultimately, defects are defects are we
need to fix them.
We
(Ipswitch) have been running IMail 2006 in our production environment
for over a month now and have not experienced the configuration and
contacts issues that have been reported by some customers. Now that we
know about them and can reproduce them, we are going to prioritize and
fix as part of a release coming soon.
We are processing inquiries/requests/defects in
real time and are scheduling an update for the coming weeks. The items
some customers seem to be experiencing are clustering around folder
permissions, iis configurations and contacts.
Several of us are working this weekend and
prioritizing/researching and fixing issues
as they come in. No doubt this is a big transition (in terms of
environmental requirements with .IIS/.net) and note that we also working to support other http
servers (e.g. apache) as well as make overall folder permissions/iis
setup more automated as part of the install. We're not sure why some
of the permission settings are not being set during the initial
installation but more details soon.
Bye for now,
kg
We've planned our upgrade for tomorrow, but
now I'm second guessing this decision.
I'm not interested in insiders making
excuses for Ipswitch either. What I would like is real information on
what problems exist.
I understand the Mac issue... we knew that
one going in.
I'm unclear on the web messaging issue. Is
it true that you can no longer get to the web client by simply entering
the official host name of the mail server: mail.xyz.com and you now
have to go to mail.xyz.com/client ? If this is the case it's a deal
breaker for me. Why anyone would do that is beyond my comprehension.
I really had hopes that Ipswitch was back
on the right track, but it sounds like this is more of the same old
stuff if they've again released a non functional product.
The lame excuses for Ipswitch are BS. They
released the product and it should work as advertised. Period. I am
not a beta tester and don't care to be one.
So I hope this or a new thread can give us
the truth about what are the real changes, what works and what doesn't.
Thanks,
-Joe

[IMail Forum] Rollback to 8.2
There seems to be too
many issues and bugs with this release. I have too many domains and
too many users to reeducate my clients. I think my best bet at this
point is to roll back to 8.2. I’ve been using Imail since version 6
and have never had – nor anticipated any major issues like what I many
others have encountered with what seems to be a premature release of
the 2006 version. I did not make a backup of my 8.2 configuration – so
is it possible for me to roll back to 8.2 without further damage?
Thanks!
Kenneth
