We are proud to announce the availability of AtMail Open! An Open-source AtMail edition based on the Apache 2.0 license, which is provided as a lightweight Ajax Webmail client with a focus on usability and simplicity.

The commercial version of AtMail will be further maintained and supported, and includes all the enhanced features such as Groupware, Calendaring, Advanced interface for IE/Firefox, POP3/maildir support, Mail-server edition, Webadmin, Outlook Synchronization and more. For more details view the comparison chart for the open-source edition and the commercial version.

We have released the open source edition of AtMail to further promote the usage of AtMail, offer users looking for “more” an upgrade path to the commercial AtMail version, and provide the open-source community a fresh look at Ajax Webmail.

Traditional desktop mail clients are in decline; the future of email is via a web interface. AtMail is poised to deliver the next generation in Open Source Webmail.

We welcome the feedback, to find out more about the project visit http://atmail.org/ and view the online demo.
