Hi everyone, One of the most important reasons why we tied VOPMail into the ModusMail product line was to make sure that fixes and new features incorporated into ModusMail would (when it makes sense) be automatically be included in VOPMail. Developpement can obviously be more efficient, therefore they can add more features to VOPMail/ModusMail in a given time. In the long run, we did it to help ourselves make better products for you. The drawback is, as you've noted, that we had to postpone our original release date for VOPMail 6.0. As you can imagine, it would have been complete chaos trying to release ModusMail L (aka VOPMail) on a different date than the other Modus 3.0 products, and we did have to work very hard making sure both products' code could be merged like this so that contributed to the delay. Now that our release date has been announced, chances are we won`t postpone it another month. I hope you'll be pleased when November 3rd comes around, in fact I am quite certain you`ll see a definite improvement. Regards, Micha�l Gaudette Product Manager, Vircom

Since the 6.0 version of Vopmail is tied to the Modusmail chain now, it makes sense that it should wait for the next release and be as clean as possible. You probably agree that some of the previous coding decisions (read marketing decisions) weren't in our best interests. It will take them a while to get past that and some of us are willing to give them that time, recognizing that a management shift has apparently taken place. We all have our frustrations, but I for one want to cheer on the only vendor who talks to me rather than bitch about the past management that is the core of yours and others anger. I'm not suggesting in any way the anger is unwarranted, just possibly misdirected at this time. I have my own personal favorite to overlook in the crosswalk and suspect others do as well. The thing to do at this time is to move on past all this and get the best products in our hands as quickly as they can be reliable.

Having spent money with Vircom that entitles me to make use of the facility as I please IN RELATION TO MY PURCHASE. I had the courtesy to make the subject line clear so you could have pressed delete instead of wasting my time with the drivel you sent. If you are capable of checking the mail archives you will see that many of my past comments have a synergy with other Vircom customers who feel ripped off to some degree with Vircom in relation to product line upgrades. Other list members don't agree with what I say but none of them called my opionion crap so in the spirit of your words I suggest you kiss my arse if you find it too scary to deal with *FACTS*. ..Petar ----- Original Message ----- From: [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Operations To: [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vircom.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 1:53 AM Subject: [VOPmail Beta] Release of VOPMail 6 - FLAME Read at your own peril Do your flaming privately, there is no room for that crap here.

Good to see Vircom is now providing 'value for money' again that the original owners are back in charge. ----- Original Message ----- From: [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gaudette To: [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vircom.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 1:14 AM Subject: [VOPmail Beta] Release of VOPMail 6 Yes, VOPMail 6.0, who`s has been included as part of the ModusMail family and will now be called ModusMail L, will be available at the same time as the rest of the Modus 3.0 packages (November 3rd 2003).
