  1. thanks for getting that subject “bug” fixed. New version works great in that respects. Looking forward to the caldav syncing issue getting resolved!

  2. there are still two bugs related to attachments on the webmail:

    1- When you download the attchment file windows prompt you to save the file without the extension, so if it is “myfile.doc” when you download/save it it comes up ad “myfile” only and so you need to enter the extension itself.

    2- When you reply an email there is no Attach file button, so you can not attach a file

  3. What about the web admin APIs? Will the old APIs still work? We tried the old APIs and they are not working with new version.

    When can the new web admin APIs be ready?

    Thanks

  4. @Murali - Atmail 6 includes a completely new API using the REST protocol and output in XML. The previous Atmail 5.X API has been replaced.

    See the tech details at:

  5. @Gentian - Thanks for the comments. We will have the filename suffix fixed for IE in the next patch.

    For the “quick reply” feature we have kept this as simple and clean as possible; however we will add an attach button. In the meantime users can click the Compose link for full features.

  6. We tried REST API on AtMail 6.0.7 but couldn’t able to make the calls success. Can you provide us a sample code or the sample exact API urls? Thanks - Murali
