For the number of users you have Microsoft Access will meet your needs.  All you need to upgrade is Imail.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Which is the best db soltion for Imail?

Going to upgrade to 7.02 this weekend ...we are using Access for are external db. I see there is a problem with that i.e..Imail can't add the new fields into access. I know I could add them then upgrade but I through now is the time to change if we are going to. So what is best! ....I only have 350 user and allot of mailing list...we do about 10,000 email a day.
These are three options I can see. If anyone has a better idea or would like to give opinion on which is best I would greatly appreciated it!
 
1. Go to Imail internal db ( I hate things stored reg if they don't have to be)
 
2. Use MSDE for there external db ....We already use MSDE for are website to store info (MSDE gives me 250 concurrent users and a 2gb limit per db and it is FREE!  I can't justify the $5K per cpu to M$ for SQL at this time. I wish I could) So is anyone out there using MSDE.
 
3. Put access2000 on that system ...Does 2000 have the same problem as 97?
Any ideas or through would nice
