there is always more than meets the eye. They had several products,
Silkymail being one of them. About six months ago, they were bought out by
ISAMET which specialized in secure emergency type email for Homeland
Security, etc... I suspect the problem really lies with ISAMET, but have no
way of proving that... just in the timing of things leads me to this
personal speculation on my part.

BTW, worldwide, they have a huge market share in major universities, e.g. UK
include Cambridge, Liverpool, York and Sussex, Univ. of Bristol, and, in the
US; Harvard, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon and Vanderbilt, Univ of Michigan,
UCLA, etc

they have always been in development, of late getting the newest version out
of beta for Linux and UNIX. It runs on Windows, Mac, and and UNIX. Also very
heavy development on the calendar end and focusing on RFCs for newest
protocols, which they helped develop, to include CalDAV clients and servers,
and modules for Sync4j SyncML server to allow CalDAV data.
