Obviously, learning Linux itself is quite a learning curve, but $10,000 should buy a lot of learning. :-) If you get stuck, I am POSITIVE that there is someone in your area (or on this list) that will be more than happy to do an on-site or remote Linux install for you for FAR less than the upgrade price that Ipswitch is asking. You should also be able to obtain local support (in a decent sized town, at least) for far less than the annual cost of I-PEEswitch's support contract. Major upgrades for most programs are pretty simple to implement (clicking a couple of buttons in a GUI, and maybe retyping some text .cfg files) and FREE. Postfix will be around for a LONG time, and is light years ahead of Imail in terms of available features and add-ons. The only thing I have found lacking is a decent web interface for admins. It may be out there and I just haven't found it yet though.
Try postfixadmin at http://www.high5.net/postfixadmin/
Of course, this does use an SQL backend for users.
I don't think anyone would ever even dream of comparing IMail to Postfix. First off, postfix is just an MTA (hands down the best IMO). IMail is a complete package. IMail couldn't dream couldn't even come close to competing with postfix as an MTA. IMGate makes it easy to use them together for those that don't know how already though.
On a personal level there aren't many reasons I could see using IMail over Courier or Cyrus for mailstore. The one thing IMail is good for is ease of use (practically idiot proof windows app).
