Who would pick surge blogs over a decent centrally installed wordpress system? That seems counter-intuitive.
Regardless, our customers have found surgemail web templates confusing, slow and cumbersome. I am not saying their right, just saying its driving them away from this product and potentially driving us out of the 'email infrastructure' part of what we do for our customers as they move their MX records to point to ASPMX1.google.com...
Sure, those customers still using IMAP clients love what we do, its the other 85% that are getting ticked.

I could of course be wrong but perhaps the different desires for surgemail
come from different markets?
My impression is that surgemails core market is more on the bulk email
providers - ISP's, universities etc, where groupware is not a particular
issue. I can see blogs being desirable in such an area though.
Groupware, even just a bare calendar/addressbook is more a small - large
business issue.
Having said that, I would kill for a basic standards based centralised
calendar/address book addon that I could hook thunderbird/kontact/outlook to
for surgemail. But I admin a small business email server and my home
network 
Also - I quite like the existing webmail, its lightweight, fast and works well
on a variety of platforms/browsers. Sure the look is a bit ancient, but it
has better functionality than a lot of other modern webclients.
