We moved to a UNIX mail server. We have less than 100 users so it was
not too painful to manually create mail boxes. The new Ipswitch and
Imail collaboration product is overkill for our needs. I just liked
an easy to manage email product but the cost of maintaining the now
orphaned imail is not justified.
I am sure the marketing people at Ipswitch knew they would loose much
of their installed base when they made the change and dropped free
standing Imail.
This is a list I kept from the last time someone asked about
alternatives
"having gone through all of the list of the past 24hrs below seems to be
the list of alternative email servers for people to consider now that
Imail as an email server is dead.
If people have any reviews of them please add to this list.
So far there have been positive reviews of Merak Mail, Mail Enable and
Smartertools
Smartermail www.smartertools.com NB comes with an Imail Migration
Utility
http://www.mailenable.com
http://www.merak-mail-server.com/Products/Merak_Mail_Server/

m-daemon http://www.altn.com
http://netwinsite.com/surgemail/
http://www.high5.net/postfixadmin/
http://www.emailman.com/win/servers.html - This is a list of email
servers on a website."
Once again if someone from ipswitch monitor this list please remove
me because your remove from list option does not work.

I am interested to know as well, and why.
I haven't stopped by the Ipswitch site for awhile. I see there's now
an ICS ISP/EDU edition that their feature comparison matrix shows to
basically be IMail. The unlimited user version is only Six Thousand
Dollars (well, ok its actually $5995, but that 5-dollar discount is so
we don't see that its effectively Six THOUSAND Dollars). For a mail
server.
As an Imail registered user I am entitled to a steep discount: I pay
only Four Thousand Dollars ($3995). Thats 1/3 off! Its not what you
spend, its what you save.
I surely hope that, for their own sake, Ipswitch read the market right
and found a new customer demographic that they are happier with. I
can remember a LOT more traffic on this list before ICS was born.
