Hello, Ipswitch is hard at work on Version 2.0 of Ipswitch Collaboration Suite and its IMail Server 8.2 component. As an important part of our development process, the Ipswitch Messaging Product Team would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming IMail 8.2 Beta Program. IMail 8.2 Beta Program participants will preview IMail 8.2 Beta software and have the opportunity to provide Ipswitch with invaluable feedback as we continue work on this important release. We are currently seeking users who have an active interest in utilizing the new features and enhancements listed below AND who are willing to give detailed feedback, participate in discussions, etc.
Beta Nomination Process o We will review all requests to participate in the IMail 8.2 Beta Program and select those users whom we feel are the best candidates for this Beta Program. o Once selected, you will receive an e-mail which will contain additional information regarding the IMail 8.2 Beta Program, access to a private web forum, and instructions on defect reporting. o Please be aware that we are seeking a limited number of Beta testers. If you find that your application is rejected, this will in no way mean that we feel you are not up to the task, it will only mean that Beta applications have been heavily over subscribed. Indeed we will keep a record of your application, and may contact you in the future. IMail 8.2 Beta Information o We anticipate that the IMail 8.2 beta will be available for download sometime in early February. o We are targeting the beginning of Q2 2005 for the IMail 8.2 release. o All Beta builds will be distributed electronically via FTP. o Ipswitch expects that beta participants will regularly test builds provided, and report issues via the Beta Web Forum.
