Example, we waited to upgrade to 8.xx for many months after it was released. Now running 8.05 and have had no issues whatsoever.
When 8.1 is released, we will wait a few months, as there are always hotfixes.
So, bottom line, sounds like you have done your homework and your decision is sound.
I would install 8.05 for production and wait on 8.1.
A test machine is always good for trying out new releases before you put them in production. Setup an alternate DNS entry for those selected test users and let them fool around with the new release. Saves a lot on user complaints and long lonely nights in the Data Center.

I'm in a similar situation. About 80 - 90 users altogether. We've been
using Imail for the past 5 years or so. We've had little problems, but most
of those were server related problems, and not Imail.
I can't speak for other people here and there problems, but Imail has been
great. Mail accessible from anywhere, web interface, easy to administer.
No complaints here.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Second Guessing my decision??
I'm the network admin for a company that employs about 130 people and two
domains. We've been using our ISP and pop mail since I've been here and I
finally talked the higher ups into letting me bring the email services in
house. MS Exchange was ruled out because it was too expensive, so I have
been testing Imail since version 7.
I like the KWM interface and IMAP seems to work well with Outlook Express.
I've got the Symantec AV installed and spam filtering set up and so far I
just have a few users testing it out for me and it seems to be running
great. The server is a SuperMicro with dual 2.4GHz Xeons, Ultra 160 SCSI and
512MB RAM. (I may double that).
After being a member of this list for a few weeks, I've been feeling a
little discouraged reading about all the problems I could face when I take
this baby live. (version 8.05)
Overall , do you think Imail is a good choice? I spent two years making my
case for this.
Thanks,
