Do remember that lists like this make it seem that there are a lot more problems than their really are. It is silly for everyone (like myself) who has done the upgrades with no problems whatsoever to post every day that things are running great. You only hear from the people who are having problems. Also, in my opinion the majority of people who post with a problem have a problem that is fixable. For example, the number of people with broken DNS is huge. Once one of the DNS gurus on this list helps them fix it, their problems go away. That is not to say that there are not bugs out there. There are definately things they could do to make the product more stable under extreme load and/or low memory. Nevertheless, my impression is that problems with Imail on true server-class hardware with adequate hard drive space and memory are relatively few. I host a number of soccer-related websites and lists. During the world cup I was moving 250,000 messages a day on a 550mhz machine with 0 problems. I have *never* had an Imail service freeze or stop unexpectedly under any version of 7. I believe this is due to running quality hardware (I run Compaq servers) and the configuration/optimization help I have recieved over the years from this list. > When I upgrade, it will be to some email product other than Imail. >From where I sit, there is nothing on Windows that I would consider an "upgrade", but of course your milage may vary depending on your needs. And no, I don't have any connection to Ipswitch or Compaq.
