  1. This is getting closer and closer to being able for us to upgrade to. LDAP was one of the key features we needed. All we really need is groups and spell check now

  2. Will filtering be available for client-only customers? Sieve filtering is great, but only if you use @Mail for all the network. This used to be available on @Mail5, and is the only feature we are still lacking that doesn´t let us roll out the update to all our users.

    Thanks

  3. @wfoss - Glad to hear. For groups, this is on the list for the next patch. For spell-check, best to use the inbuilt browser spell-check via Webmail for the moment; this feature will be added soon, but not as high a priority.

  4. @joel - For filtering this is only available in the server-edition. Which IMAP server do you use, and does it support Sieve filtering? Since we include the full source-code, you could modify the Sieve function in Atmail to save this to your mailserver directory/rules, and use all the code we have created. Just a matter to glue this into your existing mailserver infrastructure.

  5. Is there a reason that there is not a New Account Signup option in v6 or am I just totally missing it?

    Comment by Kevin — January 28, 2010 @ 8:44 pm

  6. @Kevin - We have an API for integrating Atmail with an existing signup page, user accounting system or other setup.

    Details at:

    http://www.atmail.com/support/index.php/Atmail6/WebAdminAPIREST

    As the Administrator, a full user manager is available via the Webadmin

    For a inbuilt signup-page for “end users”, we’ll add this into the next patch, a few people have been asking for this! In the meantime, the API is your best bet.

  7. Has the Snow Leopard pkg been updated?

    Comment by Chris Wheeler — January 29, 2010 @ 5:48 am

  8. Is it possible to add the Sieve filtering UI to the webmail client for webmail client only customers?

  9. Has the Snow Leopard package been updated to the latest version?

    Comment by Chris — January 29, 2010 @ 2:05 pm

  10. @Chris - Yes, the Snow Leopard pkg has been updated, available from the download eval page

  11. @Scott - For Sieve filtering, this is the server edition of Atmail only. Since the full source-code is included in Atmail, you can reuse our functions and get this working against your own mailserver environment.

  12. Ben, as @Mail5 does have support for filtering, It would have been great to know the full feature set would NOT be kept between versions before buying. I guess it is not incorrect to assume a newer version would have more features than an older one.

    Thanks

  13. I appreciate the continuing work on Atmail 6. It is evolving nicely.

    A couple of minor issues with the update procedure:
    - Does not reset permissions and ownership for files in /usr/local/atmail correctly
    - Stomps on changes to Exim config file

    Documenting these things in the update procedure would be very helpful, as I forget every time.

    Thanks!
