 AtMail 5.3 Released!

March 27, 2008

After four months of rigorous development and testing, AtMail v5.3 is now available! The PHP version of @Mail is now more than one year old and has matured nicely. We have added a number of new features and feel this is our greatest version yet.

AtMail 5.3 will include:

  • Support for SQLite database backend (Webmail Client mode only)
  • Improved email address parsing (comma bug resolved)
  • Improved parsing of embedded emails. @Mail will now recurse through layers of embedded emails and extract the content of them all.
  • Support for ms-tnef (winmail.dat) attachments. Requires the tnef program installed on your server.
  • New Plugin framework added
  • Improved filtering of control characters that break the AJAX/XUL interfaces
  • Resolved bug where wrong From address sometimes shown.
  • Advanced FF interface now supports Start Page at login
  • Improved filename detection for attachments
  • Default date format as set in Webadmin is now applied properly to new users
  • iPhone is no longer redirected to the WAP login page as it can handle regular simple interface
  • Having an ampersand (&) in your Display Name will no longer break the Adv FF interface when you login
  • Email tabs in advanced interfaces now display certain characters in subject text correctly (not as html entities)
  • Webadmin can now sort User list by LastLogin field
  • Improved HTML > Text conversion when replying/forwarding HTML messages in text mode on AJAX interface
  • Improved support for spaces in folder names - no longer breaks XUL next/prev button

Vista Support WebSync Utility
Vista Sync

The 5.3 build of AtMail brings Windows Vista support for the Websync utility for Outlook 2007 and 2003.

The Websync utility is a plugin for Outlook which uses MAPI, and can communicate to the AtMail server via HTTP/HTTPS. Full synchronization support is enabled, including Shared address-book and Calendar events.

Clients can download the new Websync utility, or follow the links within the AtMail Webmail interface to obtain. Existing users upgrading will need to remove the previous Websync and re-install.

Multiple Calendar Support

Multi Calendar Support

The latest build supports multiple calendars, allowing a user to create a new calendar and share this between local users of the AtMail system.

This extends the traditional “Personal” and “Shared” calendars of AtMail, allowing the user to create their own and optionally share an entire calendar with other users

Other Calendar enhancements include the ability to define the alert time of an event and the free/busy status of an event
