    I'm confused! I've been using Kerio 4.2.1 then 4.2.2 and as you probably
    know, this version is due to finish end of December so it will be
    unsupported. Is 2.1.5 still supported or will it not need supporting?
    I like Kerio and would prefer to stick with it, but I don't want to keep
    using it if there's no support.
