Hi all,

We have been using QuickMail for about one year now.  It was a great
pleasure to dump InBox and we've never looked back!  QuickMail is easy
to install (both the server and individual stations) and reliable.  A
great feature is its ability to have custom forms, which allows us to
cut down on the paper in the office once the admin people realize its
potential (when they do realize it, boy do they get carried away.)

We have a staff of about 25 people and our server is a dedicated
MacPlus w/ 2M RAM.  The only drawback of this is that it is sometimes
slow about keeping up its log of wether or not a recipient has read a
memo.  By the way, the log is great, as it allows you to retrieve and
re-read messages, as well as unsend a message before it gets read.

QM also allows dial in capability, which we use every day.  One can
read their mail from any computer with a modem.

We have installed two bridges to outside networks, one for AppleLink
and one for Internet mail (GatorMail).  When your set up (fairly easy
for GatorMail, simple for AppleLink), you can send and receive mail
'round the world as easy as accross the hall.  QM allows the creation
of group mailing lists that can consist of people on your internal
mail system and any other mail system also.

This is a fairly gushing testimonial, but we've been very satisfied
with this product.

One happy customer,
