My organization recently switched from GroupWise to IMail 2006.2. Let me start by saying I absolutely love the simplicity of the management as well as the end user side to IMail. Very clean and easy to use.
Now for the feature requests/suggestions: 1. The ability to import(and export) a CSV into(from) your address book. This was a major growing pain for us. Users had to manually re-enter all of their contacts. We got through it, but to this day it would be a wonderful feature. 2. A "real" easily manage "Global Address List"... not a flat text file that needs to be edited every time you make a change. Couldn't this just be read from the user DB, or if you are using Active Directory then why can't it be read the same way the users are (LDAP)? 3. A way to have mailing lists without having to utilize the list serv... or an easier way to manage... (i.e. auto deletion from the list if the user is deleted). Why can't this also utilize LDAP? 4. The ability to "share" a contact or group of contacts with another user. 5. The ability to "share" your inbox (read only, or write) with another user (good for supervisors/secretaries) 6. Redesign the calandar... I know some of these features are available in IMail Premium, however... you are talking about a $3500 difference for some other extras we don't need. We don't need anti virus or anti spam, and we don't need the ability to synch with outlook (it would be nice, but not necessary). If there are ways to do these things that I am missing please let me know. Otherwise, please do not take this as me being a troll... I am simply giving some constructive criticism. I do know after looking around a bit... atmail offers a web server with all of this functionality for approx. $700 and Zimbra (doesn't run on Windows) is also comparable... Thank you for creating such a wonderful software package... I just think it needs a few tweaks. - Greg Taylor ---- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
