I am still using Imail and I VERY disappointed in it. As have most people we have invested a lot of time and money. Imail is slow, their directory structure is plain stupid and IMAIL DOES DELIVER MAIL TO WRONG MAILBOXES OCCASIONALLY when you hit a volume your server can't handle. I would prefer if it couldn't handle it to not deliver it at all.

Isn't this an IMail discussion group? Why are people who've quit using IMail posting messages to the group? Personally, I've been using IMail for a couple of years now. It worked perfectly out of the box and has worked perfectly every day since. I'm absolutely thrilled with the product and wouldn't switch if you paid me.

It was extremely hard considering the ton of money and time we invested. We went to Linux running qmail and so far so good. It has been an experience I will not forget but we are very happy so far and it's amazing how much more support I receive from an open source solution not to mention the money saved! Hmmmm?
