Here's some "food for thought" for Scott:

Several on the list have suggested that Declude adapt to run with other mail servers 
in addition to Imail.

Of course, as Imail servers start getting replaced, it is very unlikely everyone will 
choose the same replacement MTA.  More than likely, the Imail user base will 
fractionalize and probably choose from among 5 to 10 solutions (or more!).

That means the target market only gets smaller and more fragmented.  Declude would 
probably have to support multiple replacement email servers in order to keep most 
customers and that involves a lot of effort - development, testing, support.

Here's a thought - what about a Declude mail server?

It might actually be less work and a better solution to simply provide a replacement 
mail server that all declude customers can use.

Afterall, the quality of a declude server, if done right, would be equal to or better 
than the hodge-podge of other mail servers out there today!

I would certainly rather stay with Declude than play the lottery picking another 
vendor and possibly end-up with another Ipswitch with simply a different name.

Webmail could come later or not at all (there's enough pureplay Webmail stuff that 
grafting something in using imap or pop only would be decent at least for a while).
