AtMail Announces Latest Version of AtMail Open
AtMail Open includes new AJAX and Video Mail capabilities, package available for Debian operating system
BRISBANE, Australia and COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Feb. 2 -- AtMail, a leading provider of easy-to-use, Linux-based email management appliances and software, today announced the availability of AtMail Open 1.03, a new version of its open source webmail product available at (www.atmail.org). In addition to enhanced features and functions, AtMail Open is now available as a ".deb" package for the Debian operating system. The Debian Project is an association of software developers who volunteer their time and effort to produce the completely free operating system, Debian GNU/Linux.
Since its launch in early 2008, AtMail Open has become one of the foremost webmail systems as it combines open source flexibility with functions traditionally available through commercial offerings. AtMail Open represents a new option for small- to medium-sized organizations that want to leverage the advantages of open source tools combined with the reliability of a proven, commercial-grade email management solution. It also represents an excellent choice for organizations looking for a gradual migration path to a more lightweight, simpler alternative to Microsoft Exchange and Zimbra.
"The latest version of AtMail Open includes new features made possible by the contributions from the highly knowledgeable open source community," said Corey Bissaillon, vice president of AtMail. "The interest in AtMail Open continues to increase as individuals and organizations seek new web mail tools that are simple, intuitive and easily scalable."
Organizations are increasingly using open source as an alternative to more expensive and 'weighty' options like Microsoft Exchange. AtMail Open combines the advantages of open source tools with the reliability of a proven, commercial-grade email management solution. The new features of AtMail Open 1.03 include:
Lightweight AJAX Webmail Interface: Now a lightweight webmail client for managing email using any common web browser, with new AJAX interface capabilities for an extremely quick, stable and highly intuitive email experience.
Support for IMAP Sort: Allows users to organize email on the server side whereby complete mailboxes can be searched and sorted. Users now have the ability to sort messages throughout the entire mailbox rather than by per page.
Video Mail: Includes video mail capabilities not found in other open source offerings, allowing users to record streaming videos and send email messages with video clips embedded. The streaming technology included in AtMail Open does not "bloat" the email with video data - instead it embeds the video into the email (without bulky attachments) to provide a very agile recording, playback and viewing experience.
Full PHP Source Code: Provides users with the full source code allowing for increased customization to meet the needs of any organization.
AtMail continues to lead the industry in intuitive, easy-to-use webmail applications. The company recently released a new online evaluation tool which allows potential users access to the same features and functions as those used by customers. Visitors to the site are able to compose messages, explore the webmail interface, connect AtMail WebSync to Outlook and visit the online scheduler to schedule group appointments.
