This was in response to the email saying:
Another suggestion--
A restart services button on web messaging for users designated as
'system
admin'...
-Andy
The reply was pointing out that if you are USING the webmail to RESTART
webmail, and it didn't properly restart, it would be a BIG problem because
there would be no way to start it again remotely.
Kinda like the computer "expert" that my old company relied on sometime that
one time, thru TS was modifying the SW firewall rules on our webserver and
added a "Block All" rule before adding the Allow rules and thus require us
to drive 6 hrs to the server to fix the prob.
NO ONE said "restarting services is bad", the poster did indicate it was a
bad idea to try to restart a service that you are using to control said
service, which is correct.
Calling the group members "negative nonsense speaking boobs" probably isn't
the best way to ingratiate yourself so that when you have a problem with
IMail they will want to help you, if you can continue using imail
considering the carpel-tunnel syndrome I am sure you are going to get from
having to click TWO buttons instead of ONE.
The fact is you posted about wanting a restart button to restart after you
update your settings, someone trying to HELP you pointed out that you can
select the service and click stop then start, very easy, you respond that
you shouldn't have to be require to click twice(too much work I guess).
Then someone tring to HELP you, pointed out that you can write a batch file
to restart a service(which is really easy to put on your desktop, and run
when needed), but you respond that you can't be bothered to write the TWO
lines of code to do that.
I find it remarkable that you responded to everyone that tried to HELP you
with hostility and name calling.
Imail has been used by MANY people for MANY years WITHOUT a restart button,
and a large percentage have been satisfied with it.
Quite frankly can ipswitch do this? YES.
But should you DEMAND that they spend probably HOURS of work to add a
feature to save you SECONDS? HELL NO!!!
You are RUDE to people that try to help you, people that recieve NO benefit
except the happiness of helping others, and you are WASTING time that people
could use to help with ACTUAL problems rather than try to help you save a
few seconds to do god know what.
Ipswitch has a request form fow features, why not spent your time using it
to let them know that it is something that is wanted, it is a convienence
that would take very little time to add to the next version.
Many people tried to tell you how to get this feature NOW, and you basically
tolds them they were stupid for giving you a fix for the time being when you
want it builtin.
You are right, we were stupid trying to REPEATEDLY help someone who wasn't
grateful for it.
