@Mail Development News
August 25, 2006
Our team have been flat out with the next major @Mail release for the 4.X series. What have our development team been busy with?
Software Patches
We have been eliminating all the minor issues with the new Ajax interface of @Mail and further improving the Advanced interfaces of @Mail . Look forward to a more polished Webmail interface for the next patch due mid Sept.
New Ajax Calendar
We have written a completely new Calendar backend written in Javascript/Ajax, and pulling records from the @Mail server via XML.
Move over Google Calendar, this is a elegant Calendar solution integrated into the @Mail software, which you can download and install on your own server.
Drag and drop appointments, automatic resize of events, calendar events shuffle to fit on screen for best presentation, advanced edit to create shared appointments, new weekly, monthly and daily view, just to name a few.
Attached is a sample screenshot from the Ajax/Simple user-interface. A new skin/CSS will be applied to the Advanced UI of @Mail to give the Corporate theme.
Thunderbird Sync
That’s right, in addition to providing the Outlook Websync utility, we have developed a plugin utility for customers that use Thunderbird to synchronize your address-book with the @Mail server.
Since Thunderbird is one of the most popular ‘desktop’ mail-clients that runs under Linux and alternative to Outlook, this will be of benefit for your customers to provide synchronization support for other mail-clients.
The Thundersync plugin will be used to sync your contacts with the desktop-client and the Webmail server, giving easy access to your addressbook where ever you are.
Other features
This is a brief blog post of our new developments, keep tuned for the latest updates as we roll them out.
