First of all, In the beginning of this venture, I was a little green, still am, but I mean it was really bad before. Anyway, I spent about a grand on @mail webmail software from calacode.
Let me tell you that it is the biggest piece of [censored] on the planet. And the first upgrade? To a completely different platform and everything. They were very "sorry", but in order to upgrade I would basically have to "manually" input every new user and run them both simultaneously so that if they wanted to check or keep their old emails for awhile, they could do so. Well, I didn't have too many email users at the time, but I was really wondering what their other clients did, the ones with thousands of email users? Anyway, it still sucks.
And I decided not to rant about the $$$$ I spent on chatblazer chat software, as I'd probably get carpal tunnel before I finished.
