[VOPmail Beta] VOPMail 6.0 Press Release

[Petar]

Yes, good new indeed although I note that you need to buy a support contract now and the release is due in September which is 3 months away. Seeing nothing is happening with 5.x that means you essentially purchase a 9 month support contract for the price of 12 months.   What is the benefit in upgrading? If the 'advanced security features' are removed then what is the compelling reason to encourage people to spend more money?   Is their a new feature list or a bug fix list that can be viewed?   How much are 'upgrade' contracts these days?   ..Petar   ----- Original Message ----- From: Yves Lacombe To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:56 AM Subject: [VOPmail Beta] VOPMail 6.0 Press Release Vircom to release brand new VOP Mail 6.0   Montreal, June 24, 2003 � Vircom has announced that it is getting ready to release a brand new version of its industry-acclaimed VOP Mail server software.
