Very good point Charles, that is why we went with IMail to begin with. Now
our unlimited version has limits!

IT seems very interesting that they will still be deloping it as a seperate
product within ICS, but selling it as a package only. I winder if all
the pieces are still developed as seperate chunks, i.e. there is no
reason not to sell them individually. Even if the peices would add up
to more than the whole, at least we could choose the pieces we want.

The more I think about it, they are not greedy, just stupid.  Any good
sales person knows you have lower end products to attract growing customers,
then you have the full migration path to grow with them so they don't
need to find a new vendor.  If you don't have the entry point, then
you compete with vendors that do, very unfavorably.
