David,
Thanks for that feedback! That means I drew the wrong conclusion from the
forums email. Sorry, Waleed!
As for our wishlist items and what will be in IMail V7.0, I really have no
answers that I can give you or this forum, about that future release. Things
change, at just about any time, and I have been burned (by my boss and by
users whose features do not make it into the new versions or by giving a
date, that is subject to change and does!) by giving out info, before an
actual release. Ipswitch does consider all 'wishlist' items, but not all can
make it into the product for various reasons (none of which I have any
control over!). Each is looked at, and if an 'easy' change, it is likely to
appear sooner rather than later. If the change is extensive or 'breaks' the
current model, then more work is required and that could mean the change is
not implemented or put off until resources can be available to make the
change.
Daniel Donnelly
