"Hewlett-Packard Company today announced that OpenMail for
Linux has passed the 1 million user mark after only 10 months of
availability. OpenMail's momentum continues to grow as a
result of dramatic increases in downloads, as well as HP's
continued establishment of partner relationships with top
Application Service Providers (ASPs), including AT&T and
PSINet. OpenMail is one of the leading business-messaging and
collaboration systems for the Linux operating system."
"In addition, OpenMail is now available on Red Hat's e-commerce
Web site (http://www.redhat.com/store/). "Since making OpenMail
available for direct purchase through Red Hat's portal, the number
of users has risen dramatically -- current downloads account for
3,500 users on an average day," said Nigel Upton, general manager
of HP's OpenMail business. "The feedback we have received from
users has been extremely positive and is a testament to the
opportunity that OpenMail, combined with Linux's open source
momentum, presents to enterprises in the fast-growing area of
messaging and collaboration."
"The Red Hat site currently offers fully functional copies of
OpenMail with Red Hat 6.1 Professional for download. This version
of OpenMail is unrestricted for a limited number of users, allowing
customers to take advantage of OpenMail's proven, robust,
e-services technology."
