It's an impossible comparison. You can't get apples-to-apples and
shouldn't try. For one thing, Postfix is an MTA, while IMail is a
suite of messaging apps. You have to come up with real application
requirements for your implementation (including anti-virus and
anti-spam measures and other things you don't have now).

You'd probably find that the go-to for IMail support is this list, not
Ipswitch phone or e-mail support; it is a vendor-provided list which
is attended well by numerous independent IMail, mail and DNS gurus,
also (if lightly) attended by vendor technicians, and which serves as
a hot zone for the vendor if there's an outspoken push for a bug fix
or feature. You need to articulate what your support requirements are:
just having a list with experts on it, even if they stay up very late,
is not going to CYA 24/7/365; in the same fashion, having a phone
number that's answered anytime, but which only has experts available
on occasion, is not the same as the pay-per-incident support you can
get from the big gorillas. Depends on what you're indicating to the
users/executives and how closely that needs to be tied to a outside
contract. Think this through.

While this would be debated by those that think GUIs and wizards slow
them down, I fully agree with this assessment. But they're not the
same product class, as above.
