Hi Scott,
Thanks for the quick response, however, I disagree. You are entitled to your
opinion but in this case I believe you are dead wrong. No E-Mail Client on the planet
works this way. If this is WAD, it is extremly poor design. IMail is a great
product, but WebMessaging, with this defect in design, is useless for me and most of
my customers. There are other Browser based email products and they don't have this
"Feature". Look at Yahoo! and HotMail... How can anyone accept this as WAD??? I
really wish Ipswitch would fix this.
If you receive a lot of mail the product is unusable. This is an easy thing to fix.
Best Regards,
Joe Hansen
