Hi Steinar,

Oops, this is a missunderstanding, i declared the subscription for IMail only as 
'classic'.

I fact, a subscription makes no sense at all, since IMail as a standalone Mail-Server 
is
no more available. This means, major upgrades for IMail will also no more available, i
guess. Minor Upgrades are for free anyway.

This means, a subscription is useless anyway. I have to verify this with ipswitch.

>> Hi,

>> Last week I had a very long phone call with ipswitch about

>> So, Ipswitch moves to the direction "buy nothing or

>> 
>> As an small ISP, we can't afford an upgrade to ICS. Simple like that.
>> We made a quick phone poll to our customers and everbody was

>> 
>> Mostly all customers ha choosen IMail as a simple, powerful 
>> but affordable Mail-Server.
>> About 50% are running AntiVirus Standard, the others have an

>> 
>> As an gold partner of ipswitch, i'm really afraid to lose 
>> most of our IMail-customers.
>> Our customers are *not* willing to buy things, they don't need.
>> 
>> I hope, that tons of customers worldwide are also upset and 
>> ipswitch will follow to the customer
>> needs and not the dreams of the marketing department.
>> 
>> Or in other words: Give us IMail Pro back, including the 
>> simple subscriptions and
>> offer all Gadgets seperatly.
>> 
>> To answer some questions, before they will occur:
>> 
>> - AntiVirus Pro or standard is included. IMail without any 
>> AntiVirus solution is not supported.
>> - "Classic" Subscriptions are no longer available.
>> - ICS is bound to certain numbers of seats or unlimited.
