Axigen 7.4.1
Axigen 7.4 is the most pertinent step forward yet. It adds just the right touch to everything: email, calendaring and collaboration, all packaged in an ever more mature, secure and stable product.
Drag-and-drop Attachments in Ajax WebMail
Axigen 7.4.1 comes with new, time-saving features for attachment management,
allowing users to simply drag files from their desktop onto a message in Ajax WebMail.
The ability to upload multiple files, instead of manually selecting and attaching each
separate document, also renders file attachment easier and faster, further approaching
the level of usability offered by desktop email clients. This functionality is currently
available for Mozilla Firefox 3.6 users.
Other enhancements for adding attachments include links to uploaded attachments and a progress
bar indicator, available from both Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8.
Ajax WebMail in French, German, Italian & Polish
Part of an ongoing localization process, the Ajax WebMail interface is now available in French,
German, Italian and Polish, giving more Axigen users the possibility to manage their Web-based
communications in their native language. Translations will continue in the next Axigen releases,
by using the support for localization.
Bug Fixes from the Previous Versions
Send / Reply / Fwd operations are now working on Nokia's built-in Mail for Exchange (Nokia E72, E52). In addition to this bug fix pertaining to the wireless synchronization with Nokia smart phones (via the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® Connector), the 7.4.1 release also corrects a series of other issues from the previous Axigen versions, mainly related to the Ajax WebMail, calendaring, Outlook Connector etc.

USABILITY
Email Filters in Ajax WebMail
The Ajax WebMail interface allows the creation of email filters. Users can define / modify rules for moving, copying, deleting or sending automatic replies to messages matching specific criteria (e.g. subject, sender etc). Other facilities include an intuitive two-step configuration wizard, the ability to reorder filters by using drag-and-drop and to run filters retroactively on specific folders.
Localization in Ajax WebMail
The support for localization takes Axigen's Ajax WebMail even further in terms of desktop-like usability, being a great tool for both companies and ISPs looking to provide their users with a more friendly and productive email experience, right from their Internet browsers.
Free/Busy Status Enhancements
Users can make their Free / Busy information publicly available, from both WebMail and MS Outlook. Two new values (Tentative and Out-of-office) have also been added to the availability status, for full compliance with the Outlook client.
Other WebMail Enhancements
The Ajax / Classic WebMail interfaces allow whitelisting / blacklisting all email addresses from the same domain by using the "*" wildcard (e.g. *@example.com); also, they both support Internet Explorer 8.0 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5.
SECURITY
Greylisting
The "Greylisting" feature enables the Axigen server to automatically reject messages from unknown senders / IPs with a temporary error message ("451 Temporary rejected by greylisting"). Unlike legitimate email servers, most spam sources will not try to resend the emails in question, thus reducing the amount of spam received by Axigen.
Restrict Specific Email Addresses Creation
Especially useful for ISPs, system administrators are able to restrict the creation (automatically, or by administrative users lacking required permissions) of certain email addresses in a domain, that are either reserved, or could be used to forge an identity, as with phishing attempts.
Password Change / Expiration Notifications in MS Outlook / Standard IMAP clients
Password expiration policies and other notification mechanisms before only available in WebMail have now been made available in MS Outlook and IMAP clients as well. Moreover, if allowed by the administrator, users can change their accounts' password directly from MS Outlook.
ADMINISTRATION
Domain Contacts Enhancement
System administrators can choose whether to publish / hide the entire "Domain Contacts" public folder, or just certain contacts of the recipients in a domain. Additionally, personal contact details available in Ajax WebMail can now be edited from MS Outlook (by the user) and WebAdmin (by the administrator).
LDAP Sync Status Reset
The status of the synchronization between Axigen and a LDAP directory (OpenLDAP / Active Directory) can be reset from the Command Line Interface. The association between an object (account / group) in Axigen's domains infrastructure and an entry in LDAP can also be reset or cancelled.
BRANDING
Outlook Connector Branding Support
On demand, companies and SPs can get the Axigen Outlook Connector branded with their details, by using text (e.g. change connector and server names, add short company description) and graphical elements (e.g. banners displayed during installation). Please contact the Axigen Team for more details.
