WorkgroupMail is an intelligent and highly scaleable POP3 server and MAPI service which can provide Internet mail to every member of your organization. WorkgroupMail connects to your ISP and sends and receives mail on behalf of all users. Local users can use any POP3 client, e.g. Outlook Express, MS Outlook or any MAPI client, e.g. MS Outlook, MS Exchange. WorkgroupMail performs server-side POP3 junk mail filtering.

I was tossing up between giving this program a 2 or a 3. It is one of the easiest mail servers to set up, but in terms of functionality and features it is pretty average. I am not 100% sure what this server is like in terms of POP3, but certainly there are some big problems with IMAP. When the server gets a little too full of messages (say over 1-2 thousand), the performance goes down dramatically in my experience. The webmail client is functional yet badly laid out and requires IIS. I could not get this mailserver working with any PHP IMAP webclient (well, not to the full extent). Some would be able to display mail, but not delete, and some would not even load up the mailbox.
This program has quite a bit of development left, and if you are planning on deploying something like this in a small business enviroment, go for Kerio instead.

A lot of compatabily issues with Backup Exec and Symantec Anti-Virus.
Not very reliable.
If they fix the problems, it would be an excellent program.
