1.  Cannot edit/update the Relay For Addresses file.  This file is the
smtp32.loc file.  This means that you cannot add any new clients to you
existing mail servers.
==KG> This is addressed in IMail 2006.02 coming next week.
TR>>OK

2.  IMAP and Web messaging interfere by creating a duplicate MAIN mailbox
within Outlook clients.  There si now ay to get around this until you
manually delete the INBOX.XML file.
==KG> We have heard about this but don't think we have a reproducible case.
Can our TS group call you to track this down?
TR>>Sure.  But I can tell you exactly how to reproduce.  Form one IP, log
into web messaging.  Send some mail, delete some mail and so on.  Go to you
other computer and open your Outlook 2003/2002 accoutn with IMAP and now you
have an additional folder called main (always lower case) that is a mirror
image of INBOX that you can't get rid of until you delete the INBOX.XML
file.

3.  Web Messaging interface is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
==KG> Could this possibly be an issue with SMTPD?  Is it possible to get
access to an account?  We've tried this on another account and have not been
able to reproduce the performance issues.  Also, are these dial-up users and
roughly how big are the folders they are accessing?
TR>>Sure.  They are mostly high speed users that have seen a marked decrease
in speed form the old interface to the new.  We have a T1 going to the mail
server which is pretty much dedicated to that purpose.  It is drastically
slower.  The machine I have is brand new (less than 60 days old) with all
the bells and whistles and I would expect a lot better performance for an
out of the box product.

4.  The Web Messaging interface as it works now, requires way to unsecured
set of permissions in order to work correctly.
==KG> We have an alternative IIS permissions model doc that we are having
expert users review.  Would you be interested in reviewing?
TR>>Nice.

5.  Web Calendaring is all but gone.
==KG> The Web Calendaring has not changed in this release.  You still should
be able to access/use them - I believe even with Safari.  We will be, in the
next sprint or two, adding back a link to Web Calendaring from within Web
Messaging.
TR>>That is what I was referring to.

6.  Public shared contacts are gone.  These existed before in the .cgi file
in the web directory.
==KG> This was a parity issue and are back in, in the 2006.02 release coming
next week.
TR>> This will save me a lot of grief.  Hopefully in the midst of fixing
this you get a way to import all of the old stuff.

7.  SMTP AND IIS use a lot of resources.  The more the machine runs the more
memory it gobbles up.  I reboot now every third day.
==KG> You should not have to reboot every 3rd day.  Are you seeing a leak or
some sort in SMTP?
>>TR That would be my guess.  It comes and goes but the IMAP seems to spiek
when there are more Web Messaging users onboard.

8.  Overall POP3 and IMAP performance has greatly slowed.
==KG> Not sure about this one.  These core services were not really touched
from 8.2x to IMail 2006.  What kind of performance issues are you seeing?
Slow sending/receiving?
TR>> YES!  If you compare an 8.22 server to a 2006.01 server on all
functions, I guarantee there is a much slower response on IMAP, POP3, and
WEB.  It is very noticeable even on a clean install with no users but a few.
This is one of the biggest drawbacks in my opinion.  When you have tons of
users comparing "when I checked my email last week it came in right away,
now for some reason it goes much slower."  OR "Why does it take twice as
long for Outlook to download my messages" OR "When I login into the web
page, it takes a long time for the first page to load.  And if I have a long
list of messages it takes even longer to load each page of my INBOX.


Kevin, I appreciate your willingness to help, but these are all things that
should have been caught a long time ago.  I have been a  supporter of you
and Ipswitch since this release, but it seems there are quite a few issues
that never should have never made it out of beta.


Later,


Travis

 I appreciate all of the Imail 2006 feedback from the list participants.

 Having been an Ipswitch customer since the TCP/IP product days
 and an Imail site since v4, I want Ipswtich to be successful.
 I want Imail to be improved and expand it's market share.

 Given that...

 I have a policy of not installing an upgrade, hot fix or a
 new version of Imail until I have watched this mailing list
 and determined the upgrade, hot fix or new version
 does not impact my clients.

 While I would like to move forward on Imail 2006,
 I see too many issues at this time.

 I would like to see a punch list of outstanding
 problems with Imail 2006.

 What are the top five issues with Imail 2006?
