"Email sorting is missing from this solution."

"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
