Advanced Webmail alternatives for DA

Uh did you see read the latest updates dates there ( RAINLOOP)?

So it is hard to support other while some are only for short period really supported.

Crossbox is paid so they do the support there i gues , no centos8 > alma rocky rhel 8 support yet ,??? https://crossbox.io/documentation/page/requirements RedHat/CentOS/CloudLinux 7

Hardware requirements there only for their services and mail part not for Control panel and other things integrated so be careful with that info

You also have to take care of services that go over the EU border with DATA , Privacy LAWS.

Squirell .. example to :(

btw, in my opinion the CentOS 7 is the minimal requirements and it's should work also with all RHEL 8.x Compatible releases.
 
Has anyone ever gotten a response from Crossbox or acrually using it? Seems like the company is dead.

Every day they go out of their way to support me and my customers. Not a single day goes by without it. The difference is probably that we're paying them, not talking about paying them. They have a lot of work on their plate, probably not much time to talk about it.

Even as we start to move away from licensed software as much as possible, I've no plans to do anything with Crossbox other than continue to increase my invoices with them. Truly, they are some of the best I've ever dealt with.

I mean no disrespect to you in talking completely opposite of your opinion, but I do feel a sense of loyalty that I believe obligates me to speak well of them when given the opportunity. They have more than earned that from me, over and over again.

Thanks MXRoute, it's no disrespect at all. It's an honest opinion and personal experience. I don't doubt they are a great company. I never did.

What happened was that I opened a chat 5 days ago asking "Hello! Is this same chat system available with your software?"

To which I never got a response.

The next day, I went to their site again, open a chat window again said "Hello!" or something like that (they ask you enter in a question to start the chat). Then I see my message was still there, it was in "read" status but no response. So I asked something like "Hello, is anyone here?"

No repsonse.

The next day (which was Monday,) , same thing, "Hello, no response"

So Tuesday, again. I went in and again I still saw all of my previous test, no answer but someone did read them. And my name and email was there as well. So I proceeded to ask , "Is there a problem with the chat?" or something to that nature. No insult, no calification, no lousy mention. Just asking if there is a problem which the chat, cause it had been 4 days already with no response and I want information on this product and more importantly to see that there are people really there. The experiencie is one of those "Maybe this company is dead", and then I wrote in this thread about my feelings about it being dead. But just feelings. No hammering, nothing non-profesional.

So, Wednesday, I thing it was I decided to open a TICKET to get some sales support. I opened a ticket and said "Hello is there a problem with the chat? I sent a few messages " or something to that nature.

They respond "The chat is only for pre-sales" if you need help open a TICKET.

So now is when I feel this response really is a poor and lousy response, becuase I was asking a pre-sales question in the chat , and tried for 4 consecutive days" and then I get that crappy answer which does not allow me to advance in my sales quest, and certainly not in my trust quest. And that WAS A TICKET that I was asking them about the chat issue on.

So, I went back to the chat to try to get "pre-sales" (whatever that means , to me it's sales) and then I got the boot treatment because I expressed my feelings about their support.

Again, I don't think they are a bad company, but perhaps the CEO with a bad temper was too busy with technical stuff and didn't want to deal with a new customer that had been trying to get sales support for 4 days with a simple question "Is the chat system on their site available in the cluster package".....

So there is the entire story. So maybe it's not lousy support, it's __________ support. But certainly I did not get any real support.
 
Ok, I have managed to speak to Ismir and come to good port with the company. We will try Crossbox, and I will come back to this thread and address my experiences. The software sure seems promising and as DirectAdmin customers we need to support initiatives like these that help keep DA on the map.
 
I am really enjoying the beauty and ease of use of Crossbox. Still testing with small accounts. Soon will move to a shared server and offer it for free to a few select customers.
