First BIG issue with 8622: I cannot change general password policy because of an error every time I click SAVE button.

This happens under SETTINGS -> Password Requrement -> Options:


This also prevents you from creating different settings for each domain, because they are blocked by the general settings:

We have the password issue resolved but we removed Thursday's release and will release again this week.  There could be a bug related to special characters in folders that can cause missing emails.  Only one customer has brought this to our attention but not knowing what or how it happened, we are being extremely proactive.  The customer who reported the issue has a LARGE number of users but only affected a few users.  More info to come.

I just wanted to add that this happens when attempting to change a logging level as well.

We figured out the email folder issue which was the primary reason we had pulled the 8622 build. The issue is VERY uncommon but I'm still glad we pulled the build. 

We included some code in 8622 to fix an IMAP issue with special characters.  That code did its job but it didn't take into account users who had another folder called INBOX.  We're not sure how users were able to create these but our fix didn't take that into account because it shouldn't have been allowed.  We had a couple customers upgrade to 8622 that had a few users with this scenario.  

This issue was clearly concerning enough that we wanted to be on the safer side and pull the build.  The settings issue we had was another reason and the combination just made pulling it, the right choice.

One of these issues was very obscure but the settings issue should never have slipped through QC.  The amount of tests and efforts we make before release are why we have so many good releases, this settings issue needs us to re-evaluate interface steps before release because that super bothers me!

Wanted to give an update, a new build will be ready on Thursday.
