New features and enhancements for OpenSRS email service

OpenSRS Email Service's 2010 fall release added larger message limits, longer folder names, per-user branding, and three new webmail languages.

We're just putting the finishing touches on a Fall Release for OpenSRS Email Service. Your users should see these new features and enhancements starting on October 28th, 2010.

Here's what's happening:

  • Allowable email message size increased to 35MB: incoming and outgoing messages can now be larger. This reflects the increasing size of things like photos and other attachments users are sending through email.

  • Maximum length of a folder name increased: users can now create folder names up to 40 characters in length (up from 15) for both IMAP and Webmail.

  • Per-user branding: you can brand webmail down to the user account level instead of just the domain level to add or remove features like the calendar and RSS reader for a subset of accounts on a domain. You'll see a new drop-down menu to select the brand on both the "New Mailbox" and "Edit Mailbox" screens in the Mail Administration Center (MAC), where you can set the brand on the account.

  • Three new languages: Webmail is now available in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, including the user help system built into the webmail interface. This is in addition to the languages already supported: English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Expect to see the new release in the Production Test Environment (PTE) starting on October 21st, 2010. A week later, on October 28th, 2010, we'll promote the release to both Cluster A and B.
