  1. Hi,

    When can we have a stable completed version of AtMail 6? Still lot of features are missing from user panel. Ex: Message Filters.

    Also there we see many issues in reading the emails / email threads etc.
    Any luck with the new API examples? We tried the new APIs but no luck in getting them work.

    Thanks
    Murali

  3. Murali, I agree with you. Still missing some important features and having issues.

    Another comment, It would be great if the caldav installer would warn before creating a 10GB loopback device :)

  4. @Murali Atmail 6 is stable with the last few patches.

    For message-filters this is on the development list to include, you can expect this within the next few major versions

    Which issues do you have with reading messages and threads? Please be specific, this is working fine in the current version and online demo.

    For the API examples see the documentation at:

    http://atmail.com/wiki/doku.php?id=atmail6:webadminapi

    Remember you need to use HTTP authentication, so if your examples are not working check your authentication.

  5. @Jason - For Outlook sync, this is our major focus for development.

    We are porting the backend to be compatible with the Atmail 5 sync, so we can re-use the existing Outlook plugin, just with an Atmail 6 backend!

  6. hi Ben,

    i cant find the plugin link for the outlook sync. can you email it to me please or post it here..

    i did love your version 5. Version 6 seems to be like a step behind in some ways..but i just hope you will have version 6 better that 5 very soon…

    please keep the updates coming every week or two..

    Jason
