Ditto. This will permanently end our use and support of Imail
in the future.

DC> Hi,
DC> Last week I had a very long phone call with ipswitch about ICS and the
DC> future of IMail.
DC> So, Ipswitch moves to the direction "buy nothing or everthing". The really
DC> big shock is
DC> this, that an normal subscription will nore more be available.
DC> As an small ISP, we can't afford an upgrade to ICS. Simple like that.
DC> We made a quick phone poll to our customers and everbody was upset about
DC> this new strategy.
DC> Mostly all customers ha choosen IMail as a simple, powerful but affordable
DC> Mail-Server.
DC> About 50% are running AntiVirus Standard, the others have an seperate
DC> Antivirus Gateway.
DC> As an gold partner of ipswitch, i'm really afraid to lose most of our
DC> IMail-customers.
DC> Our customers are *not* willing to buy things, they don't need.
DC> I hope, that tons of customers worldwide are also upset and ipswitch will
DC> follow to the customer
DC> needs and not the dreams of the marketing department.
DC> Or in other words: Give us IMail Pro back, including the simple
DC> subscriptions and
DC> offer all Gadgets seperatly.
DC> To answer some questions, before they will occur:
DC> - AntiVirus Pro or standard is included. IMail without any AntiVirus
DC> solution is not supported.
DC> - "Classic" Subscriptions are no longer available.
DC> - ICS is bound to certain numbers of seats or unlimited.
