Re: [IMail Forum] Roles/Group Based Permissions and Access?

[Bill Foresman]

You will need to look elsewhere for your solution since ipswitch no longer sells imail as a standalone mail server. They also jacked up the price of the bundled services that you wont be using to $10K. Yet another problem is that you can't just allow pop3 access to certain customers using imail anyway.
