The problems have been few. I posted this to help those make it through to February. I delayed moving folks from the v4 systems waiting for the v6 systems so as to gain a couple or few more years before EoL for them and for other reasons that v5 does not properly address. Clients don't like to be moved around. In a perfect world, email client programs would not have problems with these moves... but we don't live in a perfect world. Those problems irritate the clients and increase our tech support by multiple times. Heading off into a repo 1.x upgrade at this point is rather silly IMO. -- John Hinton 877-777-1407 ext 502 http://www.ew3d.com Comprehensive Online Solutions
