The long awaited Outlook Websync support is now available in Atmail 6.1 released today.

You can test-drive the new release via the online demo, and download the Websync plugin to evaluate.
With the Atmail plugin, users can synchronize contacts, calendar events and tasks with the Atmail server. Atmail is one of very few products which supports a synchronization path between Outlook and open-protocol CalDAV servers.

The data synchronized is made available via the Webmail interface, allowing you to keep Outlook and Webmail in sync. Any new data created in either Outlook or the Webmail interface are synchronized together.
