AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) driven webmail client-server solution bringing integration of groupware and mail functionality in an easy-to-use interface. Robust and stable functionality allowing large amounts of messages and users.

Email encryption and digital signing using S/MIME directly in user's mailbox works similar to PGP, without the requirement for a any software plugin on client side. Fully supported in WebMail Pro, including certificate management.

Define rules based on message content, email sessions, perform copy to folder and move to folder actions or simply encrypt messages. All definable by end users via WebMail (or WebAdmin) interfaces.

WebMail Pro supports multiple professional language dictionaries at once, user can switch between preinstalled languages within the GUI. Misspelled words are underlined, no popups or other interruption for maximum comfort.

Unicode encoding allows users to view email in every available language with the correct font, without having to choose one character set. WebMail can be easily localized to any language including double-byte characters.

Independent on voice codec in use, compatible with a wide range of SIP enabled softphones and HW phones. Easy configuration, NAT Traversal for operation behind firewalls and routers, extensive call routing options.

Thanks to close integration of the telephony system within server, users can dial directly from within Outlook or WebMail contacts. Their phone will ring when the call is established and is ringing the other party. Just pickup the phone and start talking.

Basic presence and chat functionality. Works with latest release of enterprise-grade VoIP Softphone X-Lite by Counterpath Inc. At the moment doesn't work with MS Messenger because of bad implementation on client side.

Over-the-air synchronization of mailbox and PIM information (Calendars, Task, Notes, Contacts, Files, Journals) to devices and applications, independently on device type (PC application, PDA, smartphone), platform (Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile, consumer phones), and carrier protocol (HTTP, OBEX, WSP..).

Allows to keep updated Outlook data in a pocket device and synchronize them to a powerful database on the server for backup purposes, or manage them via WebMail interface. Widest range of data types and formats- email and folders via IMAP, all GroupWare (Outlook) objects, files.

Depending on number of users and devices, administrator can choose data storage from a wide range of supported database engines, from entry-level SQLite up to high-end solutions such as Oracle.

Simple setup is possible by fully automated client identification and protocol compatibility adjustment, together with the widest range of data types and thorough compatibility testing with different clients. For devices with no native SyncML support, such as Windows Mobile handhelds, Funambol open-source client application can be used. Another 3rd party product which is guaranteed to work is the commercial Synthesis SyncML client.

Directly accessing GroupWare, enables calendaring and sharing with a variety of cross-platform clients without requiring any plugins on client-side.

With server solution, no support for sharing is required on client, enables multiple calendar view at once. Supports Shared folders, Public folders, subfolders, occurences, recurrences, exceptions, alarms.

Synchronize any piece of information stored in GroupWare DB repository, no matter what interface it was originating from- mobile phone, sent from Outlook, or entered by server administrator.

Support for compressed responses, thorough testing for high compatibilty with all major CalDAV clients. GroupWare has been updated so it supports UIDs from the CalDAV protocol.

As it is with other parts of the system, there's full support for any regional language.

All visual parts of the system run in Unicode. GroupWare folder names, account names and IM avatars can now be fully localized, including double-byte languages. Interface.xml file support added for those wishing to adjust layout to accomodate to new languages.

E-mail, IM messages, GroupWare data are transparently converted to Unicode whenever necessary. Even IMAP Spam Folder name can be localized to any language.

Support for all international characters sets without the need for conversion in client applications- solution to many incompatibility issues.

Support in anti-spam engine allows creating language specific rules to filter spam in non-Western languages, either by users or centrally managed through the AutoUpdate technology.

All server settings are stored in UTF-8 and messages received in other charsets are internally converted to UTF-8 and then the comparison is made.

API and command line utility is now capable of remote connections over RPC, allows remote management, scripting and performing actions not possible by other means, such as remote Export/Import of user accounts.

Command (e.g. tool utility) can be run locally on the server while connected over a remote connection, when an RPC would present a security risk or won't be possible at all.

Group commands, new methods, support for shortcut commands, updated command processing.

SQL statement action in Filters allows to keep own database of senders, make queries and insert statements to database, based on message contents.

There's a possibility to set SSL method and version for server and client connections, accessible through GUI or API.

Tool can create backups and restore backups from .mcb file from within the command line. There are endless possibilities of automation through scripts.

MDA mode is a separate queue for email processing, recommended for high-traffic servers with extensive filtering, external antivirus engines etc. Thread pooling allows to set maximum amount of threads allocated at one time.

MDA internal message delivery- bounce backs, server generated messages, account forwards etc. will be placed to incoming queue and processed as incoming emails applying all filters, rules, antispam, antivirus and other.

People who perform 99% of server maintenance over remote connection can access the connection manager directly after startup of the config or even force the connection right away. /forceconnect=host parameter will find the host in the connection manager list and connect to it. If there is a password then it will authenticate automatically without the admin's intervention. If not the user will be presented with a password dialog. If host is not specified, only the connection manager will be popped up.

Database migration tool performs a conversion between a any supported database engines. Transactions support lets you migrate 1000s of records within seconds.

Now it completely ignores the source table so it may be corrupt, fields or values can be missing. It will still migrate all the fields that are present, which means it can be used to fix table structures.

Integration of whole domain with Active Directory or other directory service, synchronization of users and user groups with their members. It is possible to specify charset of the LDAP server (if not running in UTF-8) in syncad.dat file.

Administrator can define any DN (Distinguished Name) object, apart from the default Active Directory storage which is "Users". All cases of synchronization are possible (create a different domain in mail server, have a different email domain on AD and still use DN other than those).

Not only e-mail accounts can be synchronized through LDAP with any directory service. Now you can also propagate user information to a GroupWare Public folder so the company-wide contacts are always up-to-date and available immediately to all users.

LDAP has been changed to the original OpenLDAP implementation, which is now a mature product. There's support for two-level (Summary and Debug) logging of LDAP service to ldap/run/slapd.log.

New version lets you use secured connections for LDAP queries. To enable this each host in the GUI has to have the protocol prefixed, if ldaps:// found then SSL LDAP is forced.

New component installer is suited for simplified or automatic deployment. Administrator can define which modules should be installed always or only once through an XML configuration file. Component selection offers a way to install Administration Console only or any combination of modules.

Light-weight installer will download missing installation data from Internet, depending on the modules selected for installation. Saves bandwidth and download time on slow lines.

SMTP, POP3 and IMAP changes can send notification messages to UDP server (SNMP) using a simple protocol and syntax. This is a new feature which can be used to notify a special UDP server of any action based on email account instantly. It can be enabled via the API where you have to specify the host, port and the active flag. Actions such as mail delivered, created new IMAP mailbox, deleted mail, deleted mail folder etc. will be sent to the UDP server. What is it good for? Well suppose you have some kind of an indexing server or synchronization server when you want to be notified instantly of any change on the server for each account (push a newly created groupware event for instance). Server will be notified of such action and can conduct any other steps required.

Search for remote accounts in all domains, new remote accounts have preset schedule set automatically.

New mode has been added to archive only outgoing messages. In total there are three options: Recieved, Sent, Both. Archivation has been moved to Mail Service node.

It simply adds a new Return-Path header as in SMTP RFC 2821. Those who want to use it will know. For improved compatibility with certain MTAs.

In Services list now Total connections made since the last start are displayed. Finally one does not need to select the service in Statistics node one by one to see the number of connections but it can be seen directly from the services and you see all totals for all services.

Monitors disk space of full paths, disk names, symlinks/junctions, admin can specify what additional path he wants to have checked.

When message is received (before actually processing with filters) the success state is used, in Session Monitor such sessions will appear with green icon (message was received but not processed). RSET turns the session back to Active state- a yellow icon. Once an email is received and filtering (antispam, antivirus etc.) begins it turns green. Useful to know if there are problems with the filters or if they simply take too long to process.

Default global templates define default options and are automatically applied when creating a new account/domain/item. Non default must be manually selected when creating an account. Domain has also a new tab call "Templates" so you can define own templates for a domain. If a domain has no templates the global ones will be used. If it has templates only these templates are available. Domain templates cannot define a domain template but only account templates.

Global and Domain templates are merged, meaning that templates from both global level and domain level are available. If there are templates in the local domain and also on the global level then if the user creates a new account and there is not default template for this type of account in the domain, the global level will be checked for default template. If found it will be applied.

Right after you create a new account (or just edit an existing one) you can directly specify the user to be member of any available mailing lists from the same place. In addition there's still the option to directly specify group and friends membership.

Specify the exact number of alpha characters in passwords users must obey. A security measure preventing users from entering weak passwords consisting of just numbers.

If password fails to be entered correctly in a given number of tries, nobody will be able to login to the account for the whole time period no matter if the password is correct.

30 second delay penalties will be performed for each unsuccessful attempt, but it will be possible to unblock the account by entering correct password. Even the correct authentication will be penalized.

Displays traffic history of any traffic type within an interval specified using drop down and new edits.

Content filters support complete IMAP message flagging. DB SQL conditions and actions allow to query any DB via SQL statements and also update the DB using the filter action.

This is a great new feature users will love. Apart from the usual Seen, Answered, Forwarded etc. some email clients also support color labels and more. In WebMail and Outlook they are supported by Account Rules for users to create own rule and action to automatically set these flags: Flagged, Seen, Junk, NonJunk, Label1..Label6. When such a message is received to the mailbox, you will see immediately the flag set in Thunderbird and Outlook, as flags are stored on the server and also rules are resolved on the server and not in the mail client.

Quarantine offers easy spam management of messages reaching specified tresholds. Multiple ways of management: domain administrators can manage spam for their domain from WebAdmin, users can manage quarantine from WebMail, semi-automatic authorization of quarantined senders via Challenge-Response. Spam reports can be sent on a daily basis to users of POP3 accounts, while IMAP users can find spam automatically separated into Spam folder.

Multi-threaded RegEx engine allows faster parsing of message content. Previously it was precompiled with only single-threaded RegEx engine.

Support in anti-spam engine allows creating language specific rules to filter spam in non-Western languages, either by users or centrally managed through the AutoUpdate technology.

When enabled by spamassassinrulesstats parameter in spam.dat file, rule statistics features record number of hits and saves them each midnight to defined filename, which can contain "yyyymmddhhnnss" time variables. Rules with no hits over a long period can then be removed safely removed to improve SpamAssassin performance.

DomainKeys Identified Mail with all the supportive technologies is an effective anti-spoofing method originally proposed by Yahoo.

Learn rules, formerly known as indexing queues, now also allow to remove a blacklisted or whitelisted address through the list server tag REMOVE, for example by sending "BL spammer@domain.net, REMOVE" formatted message to the learn rule blacklist account.

Jabber IDs from Instant Messaging client roasters will be automatically bypassed from Anti-Spam processing and their messages never marked as spam.

To deal with PDF spam, an option has been added to score messages with an attachement, which has a defined extension and falls into defined size limitation.

Option to score messages with no intermediate server in Received header. This is based on the fact that spam is in many cases sent directly to target mail servers.

Support for extended RBL server responses improves RBL effectivity. A very effective Anti-Spam measure but potentially likely to produce false positives. Use in combination with Quarantine and Autowhitelisting.

Either every sender (if not whitelisted) needs to go thru the greylisting process for each recipient it sents email to, or now the Owner mode can be set to domain. This way the sender will have to send the email to the domain only once and since authorized it will never be greylisted again. In the database the owner in such case is the whole domain and not just an email address of the recipient.

Black and white lists can contain domain names, not only email addresses. They are independent on Quarantine mode, regardless of the quarantine access mode or even when the quarantine is not active at all, B/W lists are independent and work always as long as they are enabled in anti-spam settings. Senders can be blacklisted or whitelisted directly from the GUI in the message queue manager.

If bypass file contains "l:" then if the sender (Mail from:) is from local domain the bypass will be activated.

Instead of deleting the expired records, the messages will be sent to users as spam (to Spam folder if enabled), that way users will have one place as the last resort before messages will be deleted completely.

Email Transport Gateway allows to route messages coming to SMTP to XMPP server and vice versa, to send email from within IM client.

Server support allows for conditioned delivery of email to Instant Messanger, further extended by status syntax extension (e.g. xmpp:email?online will send a message only if the contact is on-line). Combine it with filter conditions (e.g. if not spam) and you have a powerful and flexible all-around messaging system.

GroupWare Monitor Gateway allows users to view status of GroupWare resources, Events, Tasks, Notes, own, public or shared, e.g. events@monitor.domain.com or john%tasks@icewarpdemo.com.

Service Monitor Gateway allows to view status of services, smtp, pop3, imap, control, im, ftp, sip, gw, e.g. smtp@monitor.icewarpdomain.com. The status is queried from the server in 1 minute intervals.

Users can display own or shared contact's calendar items, Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming and FreeBusy status. Max 25 items can be viewed, GroupWare is quiried in 30 minute intervals. Should you require an up-to-the-minute information, just send a message to the roaster entry and the information will be refreshed.

Stream Compression, HTTP Binding, Privacy and Security functions, Service (Room/Transport) privacy processing, Dialback Key Generation and Validation.

Through XML configuration files it's possible to define access rights of users to services of IM Server.

Contacts in roaster are bypassed from Anti-Spam checking and their users will never be qurantined or tagged.

Multi-location installations and offices who interconnect with public IM servers such as jabber.com, won't experience any compatibility issues.

Transport gateway for GoogleTalk has been added for better cooperation with external contacts from one place.

Administrator can place roster.dat under config/domain/ and all accounts from that domain will use that roster (all members will be automatically virtually added to their roster), users still can use their private rosters together.

Private, Public and Confidential records handling, Reminder, Notification, Location, Attendees, Anniversary, Occurence, Recurrence, Exceptions, Holidays supported. The latest although non-standard Outlook vCard 2.1 fully supported.

Complete support for SIF and Versit Object types, gzip compression. Thorough testing with Funambol and Sythesis clients and many native SyncML clients built in consumer and business cell phones.

Administrator can export data of multiple users or whole domain to an XML file, user can export own data through Outlook Connector, for recovery and migration purposes. The same for (multi-)user imports.

Members of a group will always find contact information of all other members in their shared Contacts folder, automatically updated whenever a new member is added. Groups are now the default object for sharing information with other features simplifying deployment of GroupWare.

Thanks to close integration of the telephony system within server, users can dial directly from within Outlook. Their phone will ring when the call is established and is ringing the other party. Just pickup the phone and start talking.

Email account settings can be managed from within Outlook. Users can change password, create server rules, set auto-responder text, forwarder, signature. Plus minor redesigns to the GUI to make it more user friendly.

If for any reason there are object dupliactes by clicking the button they will be all removed and put to the Trash folder. It is fast and compares multiple object attributes to make sure that really a duplicate is being deleted.

Users can roam around the world and their calendars will reflect timezone changes accordingly and appear correctly to users in other timezones. Nothing but adjusting the Windows time zone is required.

User can export own GroupWare (i.e. shared) data to XML file, which can be later imported back, all through Outlook Connector.

Connections to GroupWare server can be made over a proxy server in the middle, using hostname, port, user and password. HTTP CONNECT method (the same as for SSL over proxy) is used.

Flags stored on the server can be set manually or automatically through server rules established again via Outlook Connector. They will appear the same in WebMail, as flags and rules are server-side.

RegEx URI rewrite rules with flags and server variables for greater flexibility. Non-RegEx URI rewrite rules perform path, protocol and hostname redirects. Also implies redesigned directory aliases, which do just that and nothing else.

Previously known as "Max threads", it has been renamed to "Thread pooling" across the server as that is the right terminology. Also for the web service a new tab was added so the admin can specify thread pooling for the web service.

Web server now supports dynamic content compression with gzip. User can specify the MIME types to be compressed and server will compress the files if the browser supports it (IE7, Mozilla). IE6 on the other hand exhibits serious problems.

If enabled in webserver.dat, script output (PHP) is chunked and size specification of the chunk added. This lets the server to keep the connection open when the script finishes although the size of the output from the script was not known to the browser. Originally if the script did not specify the size of its output all it could do was to disconnect the connection to inform the browser that it has all. This could cause to higher traffic (connecting and disconnecting) all the time.

ON by default, but if admin wants to disable any FTP or Web host temporarily by uchecking this option, it will result in disabling the host and when somebody tries to access it they will get "Server temporarily unavailable" message.
