We're not a college, but as a boarding school, we have many of the same
issues and concerns. The product (and our installation of it) isn't perfect,
but we're generally quite happy with IMail. We've got about 650 users,
several dozen mailing lists, POP3, IMAP, and web messaging users. We're
running on a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with dual P-III 500MHz, 512MB RAM, and
IMail on its own 9GB drive. The server is also our PDC, and one of two DNS,
DHCP, and WINS servers. We're using Ron's HKSI templates
(www.humankindsystems.com), which make the web interface much more
interesting and understandable to our students (and some of the staff!).
Support has been helpful, this list is FANTASTIC, and the price is right.
For the record, we've not seen many of the problems others have, and I
tentatively conclude many are either volume related or (blame the likely
suspect) Microsoft's fault. This is not to be confused with the features we
place on the wish list.
That's what it looks like from here.

Subject: [IMail Forum] References - Anyone?
While we begin our evaluation of iMail, we were hoping that other College's
that use this product could share their experience with the it (good or
bad), and ipswitch's support and response times.
The product's feature set seems to fit into our Network structure perfectly,
but our concern is how well it will hold up once students, staff and faculty
begin using it heavily. iMail seems to offer alot for a very minimal price,
and it almost sounds too good to be true.
I would appreciate any and all comments.
Thanks!
