Yes, I saw that to. An administrator would have to apply permissions once the user agrees to share their folder.

Martin Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 6:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Collaboration tools exposed Jill/James, I downloaded a trial of WorkgroupShare just to see what it was like. One thing that I did *not* like was that there was no ability for the end-user to share his or her own folders, or set permissions for people to access them. You could check a box in Outlook to allow it to be shared, but the actual sharing could not be done there. This all had to be done by an administrator sitting at the server (sharing & setting permissions). Is the same true with the version that ships with ICS? If so, won't it be an administrative nightmare when you get up near the "unlimited users" range??? I couldn't imagine having to go to the server console (or RDC) every time a customer called and said they wanted to share another folder, or give someone access, or they got mad - take away their access.

In the coming releases of ICS, you will see more and more integration of the different components. At this point there is some integration in the ability to import IMail users into WorkgroupShare. As for your assessment of the pricing - you are referring to the crossgrade prices - which, do not have a IMail component, as any customer that is eligible for the crossgrade already has IMail. The value we are providing then, comes from paying close to the retail price of WorkgroupShare and getting IMail, IIM, AV and Service thrown in.

Bednarz Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Collaboration tools exposed I downloaded the trial of ICS and as we all suspected it is simply an install of Imail, IpswitchIM, and Workgroupshare (www.workgroupshare.com) 3 separate programs connected by an installer. The 3 software programs are not tied together one bit by code and do not rely on each other for anything. The other installers install Imail 8.13 and IM 2.01 individually If you go to www.workgroupshare.com you can buy the collaboration software component 250 user license for $2995. Its almost as if Ipswitch is selling Imail, and IM as a cheap add on to this workgroupshare software. All of this just makes you want to say What in tarnation is going on here? The fall of Ipswitch could be as bad as the fall of the New York Yankees! James P. Bednarz Information Technology Manager Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. Teamwork Rules!
