Logical Progression announce the release of MailManager 1.0 the open
source email management system.

According the Jupiter Research customer service emails will rise from
1 billion a year to 3.3 billion by 2008. Companies, particularly
smaller businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to deal with
the increasing volumes. With MailManager companies can be sure that:

* Email goes to the right person
* Incoming messages will be prioritized
* Service level targets will be met
* Standard reply templates will speed up replies
* Managers can track performance

MailManager is available on Windows, Linux and Unix. There is also a
hosted service for organizations that don't want the hassle of running
their own servers.

"MailManager is EXACTLY what we were looking for and has really solved
our problem of managing email from thousands of users and sharing the
workload among our small, distributed staff," says Jeremy Bencken of
ApartmentRatings.com.

"MailManager has simplified management of our sales and support
email," said George Donnelly of Zettai.net. "We now spend less time
fiddling with the technology and are able to respond more quickly to
our clients. Searching and classifying our old email is now
effortless."

Andrew Veitch, CEO of Logical Progression used a presentation at the
Euro Python conference, Gothenburg to thank the community. "Over the
last eleven months we've have had 65 feature suggestions and over 100
bug reports and technical contributions. MailManager 1.0 would not
have been possible without the help from our global community."

Logical Progression particularly wish to thank Zettai.net who have
funded the development of some new features which will appear in the
next version.

The MailManager hosted service is at:

Open source portal:
http://mailmanager.sourceforge.net

The open source product is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and
Un*x.

49GBP per month!!!!!

Extremely expensive spamware.
 
Umm...what gave you this impression? Considering that it's released
under the GNU GPL

the site is very vague - however, I downloaded it, and on installing,
it is the gnu licence you agree to.

I haven't installed it yet (cancelled it out) as I don't really want
or need it.

It may be you need to subscribe for a fee to let the "free" software
do its job ?

I am still unsure about this - it may well be very legit, but it
doesn't do a very good job of explaining itself

Sigh.

Read the original post, again, slowly, reading each word until a full
sentence is formed.

You will then realise that there are two (2) things provided from the site.

One of them is a GPLed Mail Server. Free, as in Liberty. It's called
"MailManager".

The other is a "mail hosting service," which is _not_ free. Which,
presumably, uses the "MailManager" software.

Got it now?

Cheers,

MailManager is a free product published under the GPL.

We make money by offering a commercial hosting service for people that
don't want to run their own servers and/or need support. It's exactly
the same idea as Apache, the product is free but lots of people choose
to pay for Apache webhosting because it's a lot of hassle to do it
right.

Best regards

I am setting up a couple of websites (sourcing the hosting) but would
like all emails to come across my own server. How much easier does
your freeware make this process?

Or does it?

MailManager is just like a regular mail client (Outlook, Eudora, etc)
except that it's got features that help you deal with large amounts of
mail. It's also really useful if you get so much mail to an address
that you need more than one person to deal with it.

If there's only one person dealing with the mail and it's smaller
quantities then you are probably just as well to use an ordinary email
client.
