  2. @jason - In the current Atmail 6 , you can use the Atmail API to create a custom signup page, freemail type service, or integrate Atmail with your own site user-management.

    See the details at:

    In Atmail 6.1, we’ll add a plugin to create a signup-page like Atmail 5 had. So users can create an account via the web, similar to Hotmail/Gmail/etc. In the meantime, the API is the best route

  3. I can’t even bring up the idea of upgrading to ver 6 until you guys stop patching every other week. Any idea when ver 6 might be considered stable enough to leave alone for a few months?

  4. @Bill - Thanks for your comments. Our release cycle for the first Atmail 6.0.X release was scheduled to be an aggressive patch and new-feature cycle. The current 6.0.10 release is considered stable and we welcome you to use it.

    We are planning the major Atmail 6.1 release mid November that will include Websync for Outlook, LDAP authentication, and the final list of features to port over from Atmail 5.

    Once 6.1 is out, the release cycle will slow down into a more timed release cycle for features.
