Sooo what is missing in vtiger v6

Okay the nearly done version of vtiger open source version 6 was released very recently. I’ve seen other people talking (on Linkedin) about what is missing, but really didn’t worry about it.

So this week I downloaded it and did a fresh install. I played with it, like the UI and settings. It plays pretty smart with helping you with installation, as a matter of fact. But at some point I realized what was missing/not working: the ‘mail manager’. Yep, except for a single SMTP outgoing account, email is non-functional with version six. WOW.

Now, googiling around show this to be a last feature they are working on. The mail center is shown in the modules selector, it just doesn’t show up anywhere else.

Interestingly enough, I had set two different email accounts as the outgoing email server, and neither of them worked (vtiger seems to test them once you enter their settings). So no email at all.

While I need other modules of vtiger for my company, they are things I can do outside of vtiger. The magic of CRM is the integration of email. I need this.

I will state my dream, that vtiger relies on Gmail (and/or Outlook) as the email front end, just integrate the messages within the database, kind of like the existing vtiger Gmail plug-in.

Waiting, we are.
