I don't like the 'whining' either, but the bottom line is that many of us
here make a living off of the products we buy from Ipswitch. It is
inexcusable for Ipswitch to release a "mail server" with POP3 not working
correctly.
I think Ipswitch owes us two things... first an immediate FIX to IMail 6.0x
that works, and secondly a big apology for releasing such a product.
We can go on and on here about this being a technical forum, but we can't
fix the basic flaws in the program. Ipswitch has to do that, but we have no
forum to let them know how we feel. It would be nice if Ipswitch would at
least let us know what's going on!
