We installed it, tried it, and paid for a license.

Then we learned about the password recovery mechanism, the non-logging of useful things, and the support system.

I recommend it highly to certain people, but not people I like.



Can you elaborate? What's "the non-logging of useful things" and why is it bad?


Imagine 400,000 repetitions of

ASC.Mail.MainThread - CreateTasks(need 10 tasks).

ASC.Mail.MainThread - No more mailboxes for processing.

ASC.Mail.MainThread - All mailboxes were processed. Go back to timer.

and not one entry about actually sending or receiving mail.


I still don't understand, isn't this an office suite? Why does it matter what's in the logs? Fwiw I don't even know whether my MS Office has logs.


This isn't running Office for yourself, this is running Office 360 for your company. Not by subscribing to Microsoft who runs it for you, running it yourself.


So is your complaint mainly as a scripting API user ?


No, my complaint is in keeping it running for other people, who expect things to keep working over time.
