Hello,

After upgrading to Zope 2.2.4, I can't mail anymore.

I have a page which sends an e-mail. I'm sure the
proxy-settings are ok. It still won't work.

I clicked 'MailHost' I once added to the root and it gives
an error. Deleting the MailHost and trying to add a new
one also gives an error: "Resource not found".

No big deal. Lets find an updated MailHost product.

The easiest way: I type 'MailHost' in the search-box.
17 Items found, but no MailHost product. Let's try the
'Advanced search'. Here, I can select a category, so
I select 'Product release'. No results...

I go to the download-page on the Zope website.
I try all 'obvious' categories, but MailHost is in none
of them. But fortunately, there is always the 'catch-all'
'All Zope Products'.

The page says: "They are listed in alphabetical order".
The page begins with 'Refresh'. Right. So I click 'Title'.

There are 284 products. I can't click the 'M' for MailHost,
so I have to browse... Click-wait-click-wait-click-wait....

'Macromedia Generator 2 Adapter', 'Managed Mode
additions to ZWiki'...

What? No MailHost??

Grrr. And this is certainly not the first time I couldn't find
the stuff I need.

Please help me! Why is there no good documentation?
Why is Zope so baaad?

Why didn't I had these problems with Perl, PHP, C or Java?

Why does this Zope-project takes twice as long as any
other project?
