I've also been a loyal Imail customer and have a current support contract. BUT, I still haven't upgraded to 7.04 and I'm not sure I'm going to do so. After the upgrade to 7 I watched all the problems on this list and waited for the right time to upgrade. I think that 7.04 is probably the stable version I've been waiting to see. I was also trying to decide what anti-virus I want to use for the next few years since McAfee is so expensive and was considering Declude with F-Prot. Now I don't know if this is a product that I'll be able to maintain. With Ipswitch doing their own anti-virus it seems to me that their interests will be best served by making later versions incompatible with Declude. So maybe a year from now I'll be stuck with buying Imail anti-virus from Ipswitch or sticking with a product that won't be supported. My dilemma is, do I stick with Imail, buy Declude instead of renewing McAfee and get Killer Templates to make the web mail a satisfying experience or find a new product. I"ve been using LInux for a long time as web server and backup e-mail etc. etc. so I don't have a problem going in that direction. It would be simpler for me to stick with Imail but I have to plan for the future. Ipswitch has made staying with them a little tougher and it just might be enough to cost them and two of their "partners" my business. For now I'll just stick with what I have until my McAfee contract is closer to ending. Then I'll have to make a decision and right now I'm leaning away from Ipswitch.
