Yes and no, $199 is the full retail price for the SmarterMail unlimited version full product from a reseller, and it has some features that are not available in IMail. So if the $199 was for upgrades only, that wouldn't be so bad and we can get support from each other assuming we can still send and receive email :-)
$495 for updates and phone support was marginal, but realistic. Better yet I think would be to pay per incident and $199 for core only upgrades available only by download. I still have my SA for another several months, if I see something really cool in the way of upgrades or a better pricing plan I may stay on board with Imail for a while longer. In the meantime I think I will buy SmarterMail, and some of their sister products to create a stand alone control panel type server. Then if things are not better here by renewal time, I will have a path already setup and understood that I can bail on. Otherwise I will not need to move all of our clients and deal with any issues that may generate. Paying $199 for what sounds like an awesome email server is something I can afford to play with. _____________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 2:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Pricing Change - Ipswitch IMail In support of Ipswitch, $199 for an SA for unlimited domains is unreasonably low.

I've enjoyed your product all these years (well, there was that one missing Release Notes issue that caused me to spam 17K customers), but mostly, it's been a smooth ride. I'm sorry to see you choosing to move on, but best of luck to you and your team.
