AXIGEN WebMail works with major web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla. With this module the users can securely access their mailboxes from Internet browsers, while the system administrators are in complete control of the content, functionality and look of the web pages.
Listeners
Listeners can be defined and managed to add extra flexibility and configurability to this service. For that, global access limitations, SSL Settings and access lists can be enforced on the address used by this service for binding.Access Control
Access rules allow you to control connection to this service by defining simple access lists for specific Networks / IP Ranges / IP’s. Service level access rules are automatically applied to all its listeners and will override for this service any existing Global Access rules.Flow Control
Flow control parameters can be adjusted to fine tune the server’s performance and avoid overloading it. Global access limitations to this listener can be enforced by setting the total number of simultaneous connections, concurrent connections from each remote IP address, number of new connections to the listener made in a time period interval, number of total connections from each remote IP address on a time interval period. The default interval for this time period is set to 1 minute.Logging
All AXIGEN main services can log different types of events. The system administrator can specify what events are logged, where and how they are logged.See Logging service for more details on logging in AXIGEN.
HTTP Protocol Options
WebMail allows you to set HTTP limits for any request made to the WebMail service. This prevents you from automatically accepting excessive amounts of data (HTTP headers, HTTP body and upload data).Webmail Options
To facilitate login procedures for multi-domain environments, AXIGEN implements login domain selection. Users can select the domain from a drop-down list and then login with their username and password only.To better manage security and resource related issues persistent connections can be allowed/denied and time limits on active/idle sessions imposed.
Thread Management
AXIGEN Mail Server is designed to run on different machine configurations and operating systems, on networks with various traffic loads, structures, domain configurations, user rights etc. That is why, depending on all these variables, you can adapt the workload to the server’s processing power to improve its performance or avoid overload by setting the minimum and maximum number of threads that can be opened at a specific moment of time.Other AXIGEN WebMail Features include:
- Complex customization - simple change of skin and behavior;
- Easy to use, secure and user-friendly – due to Features like tree structure for folders view, common actions applied on folders (rename, delete, move, create), built in HTTP server etc.;
- Server Side Scripting Language - called HSP, used to generate HTML code;
- Personal Address Book - WebMail Contacts give users the possibility to select recipients from their personal contact list when composing new email messages. New addresses can be added to the existing address book either manually or automatically, when receiving new emails;
- Personal Organizer - comprises tools such as calendar, tasks, journal, notes and collaborative support. Through AXIGEN Outlook Connector, the Personal Organizer is synchronized between Outlook and AXiGEN's WebMail;
- Public Address Book - contains contacts set at domain level, that are also available when composing an email;
- Automatic filters and replies – can be set trough WebMail interface wizards. Vacation/ out-of-office messages can be defined and enabled to be sent automatically as a response to all received emails.
- Internationalized search and multiple languages support - language-specific characters can now be used when running a search;
- Public folders - users may now share email messages by simply copying and/or moving them to a public folder. System administrators can also associate a certain email address with a public folder. Thus, emails can be sent directly to the public folder, archiving options being also available.
- Compose while attach - using IFrame technology users can continue the Compose action while attaching files to their messages.
- URL redirect rules and virtual host support - URL redirect rules are used for redirecting plain connections established on one listener towards a secure domain:port location. Redirects can also be used to redirect connections from a specified listener to a virtual host. This way, several domain names can be defined for the same IP address and several domains hosted on one single IP. This is useful, for instance, when you wish to have two different WebMail login pages for two different local domains hosted at the same IP.
- HTML mail filtering levels - parses the HTML code from the e-mails and generates a safer (i.e. removes possibly unsafe scripts) and cleaner (i.e. converts to XHTML-like) HTML code. This provides WebMail account users with the ability to set the HTML filtering level to be applied to all mail in HTML format.
