Zimbra 8.8?

[moren]

Is this release been un-released?

The download pages now show 8.7.11 (and 8.8 still in beta)

Confusing for end users and no information regarding this...

You would guess so wouldn't you but there was no official announcement about it's demotion.

FWIW, I'm using 8.8.4 without problems apart from a minor hiccup in 8.8.3 and 8.8.4 with IPv6 that caused the proxy to not start although that was an easy fix. Others have also had problems, if you look around the forums you should find further info.

Hello,

I think that everybody agree that the mix between "Release Candidates" or "Ready for Production" instead of "BETA" and "GA" cause more harm than good.

I agree but those two versions were released as GA and then withdrawn and then changed to beta which isn't very useful as you're not supposed to downgrade Zimbra. Not enough of the community test the beta versions and, AFAIK, the only beta release we get these days are for the Network Edition. I also have to question the QA as the problem I hit with IPv6 was obvious as soon as I installed ZCS, granted it was a trivial fix but still annoying none the less.

There are also many, many bug reports that have been outstanding for years that fall into the 'trivial fix' category but none of those seem to be getting addressed perhaps one day, if I live that long.

I presume you mean "imapd", you don't need it for a single server, disable it or ignore the fact it's not running.
