Our development team has been hard at work over the last 3 months, taking a lot of feedback from clients and giving Atmail a good going over! With the focus on hardening the code and cleaning up rather than just pushing in more features (though we still added a little sprinkle of important feature improvements) the result is the most feature rich yet solid Atmail release to date.

As a promotion we are offering all expired clients a 20% discount on the Atmail upgrade until the 2nd April. This is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your Atmail system to the latest version and rollout the enhancements to your users.

Here’s a short list of improvements we’ve made:

• Support for recurring shared calendar events
• Improvements to shared and recurring calendar event handling
• Improved timezone and date handling
• Improved MIME parsing
• Added support for handling (bad) MIME messages with non-unique MIME boundaries
• Improved entropy generation for creating PGP keys
• Added Chinese language support
• Improved attachment filename discovery
• Support CID images with application/octet-stream content type
• Image parts with Content-ID headers but no related image tag in the html part are now rendered as attached images
• Improved handling of multibyte characters in spell checker
• Improved WebSync (Outlook to Atmail syncing)
• Fixed issues introduced with Firefox 3.0.7

If you are a current Atmail client we highly recommend you take advantage of the improvements and upgrade to this milestone. If you are looking for an affordable, feature-rich, solid and professionally supported webmail solution for your company, institution, government department, small business etc, then this latest Atmail release is the best yet and a must for your short-list.

Introducing the new ArchiveVault appliance! Enterprise class email-archiving at an affordable price. Appliances are available in 1TB, 4TB or 8TB options.

This is the latest addition to the Atmail product family, and is built on the new Atmail-6 codebase and Zend framework. Our development team are proud to announce the new product, and to demonstrate the new Atmail-6 codebase with a working product.

Email archiving is becoming standard policy for modern companies. The implementation of a sane and solid email archiving policy will save your company time, money and resources in the long run. A system with a built-in recording, logging and a clear path for recovering your data is required. ArchiveVault is easily searchable, which will allow systems administrators and company executives to breathe easier.

The ArchiveVault product can help satisfy all legal and compliance issues for your organization, and is designed to integrate with your existing mail-server infrastructure ( Postfix, qMail, Exim, Sendmail, Exchange, Atmail and more supported )

To test-drive the new system see the online-demo at:

The test environment includes all Enron emails which have been released into the public domain. This will demonstrate the importance of an email-archiving policy for your organization, for compliance, auditing, and fraud prevention. We welcome you to search the ArchiveVault interface to find Enron employee’s fraudulent activities.
