Same for archiving-for extra money, they'll audit trail for you. Still miss the pee-easy moderation of Google, though, and it's really only possible because all the data is up in the cloud where Google's spam filters are. Indeed, at the time, I only came back to self-hosting email (but still in the cloud) because I badly needed better mailing list support than Google Apps had at the time. But it's very shiny, and Google does many things correctly (compare Google Groups to your average Mailman install, EG), they're very big on collaboration, and it's very hard to argue with a turnkey solution that does most things right out of the box. Google is not interested in doing more than is necessary to make it work, so if IMAP is too slow, or your choice of platform is not well-represented (think Symbian after the ActiveStink drop), well, too bad. Very task-focussed, it's "Free", and it's in the cloud, so all your problems melt away. This always surprises me.Īs for Google, well, the best you can say about them is that they're generous.

It really is very team-spirited, and users besides myself have been utterly delighted even without CLI changes.

I would point you to my review on the Mac App Store, but it's been obliterated by the recent updates, so I suggest that you give it a fair shot using an available Mac-any recent Mac will do-and see for yourself if it will do what you need.

As a Mac head this works out well for me since I know how to use AppleRAID, CoreStorage, Time Machine, etc and there's plenty of good Apple documentation on the subject, but unless you need the features that are specific to Apple (like iOS and Mac push and management) then it may not make the best choice for standalone use. Underneath the UI, OS X Mail is just Postfix+Dovecot, so if you can handle those, you're fine. OS X Server is a nice platform because it comes bundled with all the necessary groupware stuff, but the simplified UI in recent times means that unless your needs are fairly trivial, you will be tinkering with it under the bonnet (at the command line, for example). Run it once over a couple of weeks to get the initial data across, do a second run just before you change where new mail is delivered to, then a final run after "go live" with the new system.Īs far as platform choice goes, Mac Mail server is ok but does not give you the same features that you can get with the likes of Groupwise, Exchange, Office365, Gmail. With this system you can do multiple passes with the migration. You setup all the mailboxes in the new system then setup the migration source and destination servers then setup the accounts to be migrated. Do you roll over student email from year to year? We did a migration from another email system to Office 365 in 2012. Also means that you have far fewer users to migrate. Tell the Admin people that this will greatly reduce interruptions. I would STRONGLY suggest doing the migration at the end of the school year. If you are migrating out of First Class you are not just migrating mail - also user data (we moved out of First Class a few years ago). Plus, if you have a special need, they're very responsive to your needs in adding functions, and doing special builds for you until they roll that function into the base releases. I've had feature requests added in a week or two. The pricing is VERY fair, and their support is AMAZING.

They have Surgemail for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, Solrais, etc. You can leave the system in Migrate mode for as long as you like. There is virtually no need for you, the email admin, to setup each users accounts on the new server. If I recall, the IMAP migration will also pull all folders and such from the old server to the new server.


If that pair is valid, the users account is CREATED on the new server, and ALL of their old mail is pulled to the new server, and from that point on, that users email, and logins operate on the New Server. As each user connects, and logs in with their email client, the NEW server, if the user doesn't exist, the NEW server will query the old server with user/password. When new mail arrives, if the user doesn't exist, it's passed to the old server for delivery. Essentially, you set the new mail server as your primary, and point it to your existing server. It has a built in Migration procedure that makes migrating users a dream. I strongly suggest you consider NetWin from New Zealand, their SurgeMail product.
