Webmail client is well laid out and easy to use. Management takes some getting used to, but needed functions aren't buried too deep. As a server for imap and pop clients it is a nice piece of software. Cost is reasonable. Support is good for the issues they have fixes for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MDaemon Email Server? The MDaemon connector for outlook leaves a lot to be desired. Undo frequently fails. Sorting and searching frequently fail. As mailboxes get bigger with many attachments, the client gets buggier and buggier. Part of Alt-N's response is to add an exclusion to the directory of your email store. I consider this practice unacceptable. As someone who migrated from Exchange Server, I was able to reasonably replicate most of the Exchange features we used. What I could not do was provide my outlook users those functions and a stable platform. We are moving back to Exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MDaemon Email Server solving and how is that benefiting you? We had a 12yr old exchange server and needed to replace the hardware and software. The total cost to implement madaemon was less than 20% of the cost to implement an on-premises exchange server. It fulfilled most of our email needs except for edge cases ... of course, edge cases are mostly upper management who insisted we implement the less expensive option. Three years with mdaemon, and they are now more receptive to paying for Exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
