Features designed for the corporate market

MailEnable includes a list server that can allow you to run your own email-based subscription lists. These lists can be useful for obtaining user feedback, keeping customers updated on new products or features, distributing electronic newsletters or flyers, providing technical support or a question and answer forum. The list can be moderated or un-moderated, and allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe automatically.

MailEnable web mail gives users the ability to manage their mail remotely - import contacts from Outlook to allow you to access all contacts while on the move. With the added feature of mailbox message filters, users have the flexibility to control the way their own mail is handled. Users can also change their own passwords via web mail.

The MailEnable Synchronisation Utility makes it easy to keep information updated between Microsoft Outlook and MailEnable's web mail interface. Information including tasks, calendars and contacts can be synchronised automatically when entered into either web mail or Outlook.

Rich text and HTML editing add colour and dynamic to web mail. Web mail users can share calendars, folders, tasks and contacts with other web mail users.

Public folders give users access to shared information via their web mail client.

Web mail skins can re-brand your web mail interface with your own corporate look, from buttons to backgrounds to your own corporate logo.

MailEnable supports the following mail protocols, POP, SMTP, IMAP and HTTPMail.

IMAP allows you to manage multiple folders on the server. Mail can be accessed from different machines, as the mail is hosted on the server and allows the user to just download message headers and envelope information, leaving the body of the message and on the server, until the user selects the email to download. This is useful when operating over slow speed dial-up connections.

IMAP also enables you to store common and relevant information (e.g. company policies, forms etc) in public folders for all users to access.

HTTPMail provides similar functionality to IMAP, where by an Outlook Express or Outlook 2002 client can access and manage messages and folders on the server. Another advantage of HTTPMail is that it can be configured to operate over Port 80, meaning that you can access your mail through corporate firewalls.

The POP retrieval connector offers the convenience of retrieving multiple POP email accounts from the one log-in.

Scalability and stability

MailEnable allows clustering of servers and also for storing configuration data in Microsoft SQL/MySQL. The system only stores server specific configuration data in the registry of the local machine. This effectively means that you can install multiple server nodes and point them at the same storage repository. By load balancing and clustering front-end servers (IIS, SMTP/POP, IMAP) the system can effectively scale out very easily.

MailEnable's open and modular architecture and service isolation promotes maximum uptime because the system is comprised of different logical processes. For example, if one service should fail, other services are not necessarily affected.

Support

MailEnable provides comprehensive and responsive support - including user forums, online searchable knowledge base, full product manuals, and access to experienced technical support people. When you purchase MailEnable, you will receive two free support tokens, valid for 3 months, to assist in the process of installing and configuring your mail server. For more information on support and response times see our support policy.

Third party integration

MailEnable Integrated Authentication allows you to use Windows Authentication as well as MailEnable's inbuilt authentication. It also allows you to have mailboxes created as users successfully authenticate using Windows Credentials.

Administration

From a systems administration perspective, web administration gives you the freedom to manage multiple post offices centrally from your desktop, or to delegate administration rights to individual post office managers to manage their own configurations. Manage users, mailboxes, lists, groups and domains from your web browser.

Web administration includes search features for domains or users, essential for when you are hosting multiple domains and large numbers of users. Remote administration allows you to manage a server or server clusters centrally from any machine connected to the Internet.

MailEnable gives you the ability to configure settings by mailbox (user) or by post office (domain/s). This allows you to add or remove mail services for certain users (e.g. web mail, IMAP access, anti-virus scanning).

As server administrator you can create global filters to control your mail content, run applications, copy emails to one or more other users, add headers, strip email attachments, delete messages, forward mail and much more.

To save on disk space, mailbox clean-up agents can be set for polling intervals to clean up specific mailboxes. Quota limits can be allocated to users or domains and can automatically inform users who are over quota.
