On January 29th One2One upgraded the Webmail software for our E-mail Hosting customers to Smartermail Version 9.
A list of Updates and New Features is below.
New Features Available in SmarterMail 9.x
Improved Synchronization with Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail
SmarterMail 9.x includes support for Exchange Web Services, a newer data synchronization protocol that will eventually replace the outdated MAPI protocol, as Exchange Web Services allows for faster communication between an email client and the mail server. Available as an optional add-on at the server level, Exchange Web Services seamlessly syncs SmarterMail messages, contacts, calendars and tasks to third-party email clients like Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac, Outlook 2012 for Windows and Apple Mail on Snow Leopard and Lion.
Instant Messaging
Allow users to chat with other users on the same domain with SmarterMail’s built-in instant messaging server. Whether they use webmail or another XMPP-supported IM client to communicate, a user’s chat history is archived and searchable, so it complies with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
Interface Enhancements for Mobile Devices
SmarterMail 9.x improves the user experience when accessing the Web interface from any tablet computer or smartphone. Page speed is significantly increased and all features of SmarterMail are fully compatible with touch screens, so users can access their messages, contacts, calendars, tasks and notes from anywhere on an Apple, Android or Windows mobile device.
SMTP Authentication for Outgoing Messages
Decrease the likelihood that your users’ messages are flagged as spam with SMTP authentication. Validating users’ “From” addresses against their SMTP authentication credentials lets other servers know the message is from a valid user.
Outgoing Spam Quarantine
System administrators can quarantine outgoing messages that have been flagged as spam by SmarterMail’s spam checks. Quarantining such messages allows administrators to investigate why certain messages are blocked as spam and make appropriate adjustments, if necessary. In addition, system administrators can easily resend any outgoing messages that should not have been quarantined.
Outgoing Virus Quarantine
System administrators can quarantine outgoing messages that have been flagged as containing viruses by SmarterMail’s ClamAV or the Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on. Quarantining such messages allows administrators to investigate false positives and make appropriate adjustments or notify the developer of the virus scanner, if necessary.
Administrative Enhancements
SmarterMail 9.x includes additional administrative enhancements such as webmail logging for domain and system administrators, new Web services and an MSI installer for automated installations.
