Additional Notes & Upgrade Information

Along with the Axigen X1 release, the Axigen trial process has been changed as follows:

  • it now requires an (extended) trial license. Request a trial license here
  • the extended trial license is valid for 60 days
  • without applying a license, Axigen will only run for 3 days.

Axigen X1 no longer contains SpamAssassin Bundled. If you were previously using SpamAssassin Bundled, Axigen X1 will automatically disable this filter on the first run — both at server and domain level.

During the upgrade to X1, the existing disposable metadata information (indexes and normalized messages) are automatically deleted and re-constructed as required (e.g. when a user logs into WebMail and performs a first search in a particular folder). More info on how to monitor & configure search indexes

Axigen X1 introduces the automatic compacting of the Axigen storage files. More info on how to monitor & configure automatic storage compacting

Axigen X1 now supports extended auto-discovery — at server and domain level. Read more on how to configure auto-discovery

If you're using WebMail Branding, you should know that Axigen X1 introduces additional branding elements — the logo on the WebMail login page and the favicon (having two states). We recommend you to also apply your branding to these elements as well.

Known Issues

[AXI-1466] Redesigned and re-engineered Notes – HTML notes are not supported by Outlook and Standard WebMail; this will result in the plain text version being shown; editing HTML notes from these clients will convert the notes to plain text.

[AXI-1648] WEBMAIL Second reminder for calendar events – Multiple reminders are not supported by Outlook and Standard WebMail; editing events with multiple reminders in these clients will lose all reminders but one display reminder (if exists) – the one displayed by Outlook.

[AXI-1488] WEBMAIL HTML calendar events – attachments in the HTML body / description are currently not supported; editing events with attachments in WebMail will cause the attachments to be lost.
