Kind of hard to fault Ipswitch for not supporting a database version that they don't claim to support.  Everything I've seen says they support 6.5.
 
I'd can see being upset if they said it did support SQL 7, but since they don't I can't see where there is a problem here.  I have software that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars (Insurance) that don't support the latest database versions of any vendor.  
 
One of the decisions necessary when upgrading one software package is what are the effects on other products.  Sometimes you have to wait until all the pieces are ready.

I upgraded from 4.07 to 6.02 in about 15 minutes with no trouble whatsoever.  I just put the CD in the server - it autoran the setup, stopped the services, installed the update, then rebooted.  When it came back up, it ran perfectly.  I don't have that many users, but I have several hundred spread through about 40 domains.
 
I also applied the 6.03 patch and it also went without a hitch.
 
The new webmail templates are very nice (with minor (IMHO) Issues.)
 
Of course, I had a full backup of the IMail directories and the registry keys for IMail, just in case - but didn't need them (knock on wood!)
 
Oh yea, and SQL 7 is working great?  :>)
