Very strange that there isn\\\’t any information about this delay or any response from Atmail. I\\\’m awaiting purchase until I have gotten to test it, but the lack of response here (and in forum) makes me think twice if I should try it at all. Even a delay for 1 month or 3 months are okey for my part as long as they keep us informed and let us know they are alive…

I second Ehab’s query above. Has a new release date been defined?

The new Atmail looks great! However, will Hosted Atmail customers receive the upgrade also?

And if so, when will this be?

A couple of (fairly small) features I’d love to see:
- New mail alert in title bar (great when using tabs in browser)
- Support for multiple identities (sending from multiple email address aliases)

These invaluable features are currently what is stopping me moving to atmail from SquirrelMail.

Hi there,

Yes, improved multi-server support is planned for A6. We want to make it easier for ISP’s to offer multi-server instances, and make “Email Server” for the cloud deployments that much easier.

Think memcached, all Atmail settings in SQL, CalDAV, fewer flat-file config files.

We will be offering an easier API then we have now, returning XML, better formulated, and added API calls.

will atmail 6 still support multi-server environments, we have two servers now and will need three in the next couple of months, but would like an better support for multi-server support such as easier updating of multiple servers, have an API like you have now (we have built a custom API around yours), not have domains in a array in a file (is slow to search for domains as there is so many). will this new version have such features?

For my part, I would love it if the IMAP capability wouldn’t mess with my mailbox structure on the server. Previous versions kept wanting to create folders with it’s own name and/or in a different location on the server and not using mine (for the default folders like sent, trash, etc). Hopefully this version will work better and allow me to choose the location of these folders on my server rather that do it’s own thing.

For spam and banning IP subnets, check our KB article on using fail2ban: http://atmail.com/kb/2009/fail2ban-for-courier-imap-lockout-times/ - Tweak the config file for grepping the maillog for Spamassassin or Exim RBL logs, you could implement an automated firewalling based on IP’s to the SMTP server.

We have implemented sorting at the IMAP level , this is working great. However, for a large mailbox, the speed is dependent on the remote IMAP server!
