I volunteer to be a beta-tester.

Let me write it first

Sounds good. Just make sure it works on ENSIM servers.

When ready I will allow beta testers. However to avoid leaked versions I'll still charge; you'll get an upgrade for the full version free and the beta won't be full price.

Anyway, it begins >:)

Blah im not paying - i have hivemail

Things are progressing very nicely. I expect a private beta within a couple weeks or so. When the time comes I'll post in Service Requests (because it will involve a fee for security reasons).

I agree about Hivemail's spelling issues... it always make me cringe when I see stuff like that. But price is another matter. I've been looking at other email server options for a while. Hivemail is a close comparison to most and is far cheaper.

However, not to be negative about your quest, I can't help but wonder why you're going down a road that someone else is already on. Hivemail has just begun vBulletin integration and will probably improve it with every version. Hivemail is already a few steps ahead of you and it'll take a lot to catch up. By then, Hivemail may cover all the concerns that you have about their software.

Maybe go into a different direction with vBulletin... possibly a truely integrated chat room, classifieds section, or auctions? Somewhere someone doesn't already have hold on.

Hivemail had an 80% off sale last week that seemed more desperate then planned. Maybe there's not as large of a target audience? Would there be room for two?

Anyway, I've installed more of your hacks then I can count so I certainly won't question your abilities. Like I said, I don't want to be negative, but I'm just curious.

Good luck! I'll definitely be watching.

I'm not looking to compete with HiveMail. My system will have far fewer features. It's instead designed to be secure, extremely tightly integrated, and simple.
