Just curious, but has anyone made a list of deficiencies of SmarterMail versus IMail? That is, if Ipswitch wanted to explain why IMail is the better product, or if some admins have reasons why they consider SmarterMail inferior, has anyone made such a pitch?
New products always seem cooler, and a new product will usually not suffer the same problems as an older product. On the other hand, the new product may have many new problems of its own, or outright deficiencies (did someone say SmarterMail doesn't support program aliases?). It seems to me the place to start an evaluation is with the case against SmarterMail.
