Improved User Interface: WebMail now features a new user interface designed to make it easier to customize the look and feel of your email. Rather than going into their preferences, users can now simply drag and drop to change what they see, with tabbed options to easily hide and show the email folder tree, message list, and message preview screens.

Improved Message Composition Interface: When composing a message, users now use a tabbed interface to go between the main message, attachments, options, and templates. The BCC line and the "More Options" areas are now automatically available via tab, instead of only through the preferences menu. Options for text, HTML, or advanced HTML messages are also tabbed, providing a more streamlined composition window, without any loss of functionality.

Improved Help Guide Interface: The Help guide now uses the same LuxSci UI to ease changing its appearance to meet your criteria. Settings for the folder tree automatically match those in the mail WebMail email view, so your folder tree is always the right size. Information that is important or personalized to a user's account will now be marked with a grey background for better visibility.

Full Support for Opera v9.5: Opera users will find that the new WebMail changes will be fully supported for their client.

Visual Settings: Now when composing messages, users can quickly see and change the message importance and SecureLine settings. Moving between messages in the message pane will also work more intuitively; moving to the previous/next message will continue beyond the current group of messages, rather than simply stopping.

vCard Format Support: LuxSci has added the ability to import and export address book entries in the vCard (.vcf) file format to and from WebAide Address Books. Users of Apple Mail and Apple iPhone can now synchronize their contact lists with their LuxSci Address Book without needing to convert the file to a CSV.

Bulk Import/Export of Address Book SecureLine Data: SecureLine users can now import and export PGP and S/MIME public keys associated with their address book contacts via CSV. With this new feature, administrators have the ability to upload all security data for all their users at once into a global address book without needing to manually upload the public keys for each user individually.

Improved Look and Feel: LuxSci has improved the look and feel of its WebMail interface by introducing revised Vista-like icon library and by updating the presentation of many dialog boxes.

WebMail Tagging Improvements: WebMail now takes advantage of the knowledge of what tags have been used previously on an email folder to make the addition of new tags to messages easier and to make searching for messages based on tag more intuitive.

Email Folder Management: The "properties" an an email folder that you can access via the email folder management tool now pop-up in a dialog box. This significantly enhances usability, simplifies the presentation of the tool, and makes the interface more intuitive. Users can now also edit the properties of an email folder directly from the WebMail message list interface.

WebAide Management: The "properties" an a WebAide that you can access via the WebAide management tool now pop-up in a dialog box. This significantly enhances usability, simplifies the presentation of the tool, and makes the interface more intuitive. Users can now also edit the properties of a WebAide directly from the WebAide interface.

WebAide Import and Export: All of the import and export functions of WebAides have been moved into the "Properties" page for the WebAide, available in the WebAide management area. Now, all administrative functions for WebAides are consolidated into that single interface. Additionally, all WebAide exports now support the option to only export those entries matching your most recent advanced search. Also, you can now export WebAide eJournals, Links, Notes, and Documents as XML and CSV files.

Improved Tag Management: The email message tag management dialog box has been improved to make the addition and removal of tags faster and easier. It is also now possible to create new tags right from this dialog box.

WebAides Replace "Categories" with "Tags": WebAide categories have been replaced with a "tagging" functionality identical to that used in WebMail. This allows users to use the same add/remove tag interface and the same list of tags with both WebMail messages and WebAides entries (i.e. calendar items, address book entries, etc.). Unlike with categories, tags no long have to be "pre-defined" to be used with a WebAide and anyone who can edit an entry can tag it.

The option to display the list of entries in a WebAide by "category index pages" has been removed; all WebAides can be filtered by Tag now using the "View" selection, just like in WebMail.

WebAides "Tag" Features: WebAide users can now remove tags, rename tags, and move entries from one tag to another using the new "Tags" WebAide property editor.

Basic Spam Quarantine Reports: Users of LuxSci's Basic Spam and Virus Filtering Service who save spam and/or virus messages to a separate folder will now receive daily emailed reports of "what is new" in those folders so that they can easily see the status of their Spam and Virus storage areas and detect any false positives. This report is optional, though enabled by default.

Duplicate Message Removal: LuxSci's email folder management tools have allowed users to remove duplicate email messages from email folders using custom criteria for some time. Now, users can remove duplicate email messages from the current folder in directly the WebMail message list interface by selecting the new "Remove Duplicate Messages" option from the "Folders" menu. This "do it now" option will use your stored duplicate message criteria for the current folder, if you have any, or common-sense defaults for what generally constitutes a duplicate email message.

Bigger WebAide Attachments: LuxSci's WebAides now accept attachments up to 50 MB in size — increased from the previous limit of 15 MB.

MySQL v5 Support: LuxSci now supports MySQL v5 databases for use by its web hosting clients. LuxSci's infrastructure has also been updated so that future versions, like MySQL v6, can be easily and quickly supported once released... even if they are not backwards compatible with existing supported versions.

New Help Interface: LuxSci has re-written its help interface from the ground up to provide a much more user friendly experience. Some of the new features include: natural language searching, bookmarking, commenting on help, printable help pages, viewing a history of all pages you have recently seen, finding articles similar to other articles, searchable PDF files, improved determination of search relevance, and an improved organization of the help documents into various "books" with hierarchical tables of contents.

New Support Ticketing Interface: LuxSci has re-written its support ticketing interface from the ground up to provide a much more user friendly experience. Some of the new features include: automatically finding answers to your support ticket questions in our help and adding attachments to support tickets.

Feature Improvements: Several features have also been added or improved. These include:

• The HTML editor used when composing email messages now supports Safari v3+ and Opera v9.5+
• When adding new users to accounts that employ our "basic spam and virus filtering service", administrators can now enable the filter for their users at creation time (even if the users are created in bulk).

The LuxSci Software Platform: LuxSci's software solution: our software, your servers. The LuxSci Platform is a version of the LuxSci Email and Web System designed for you, the Customer, to be able to deploy and manage email and web systems in your own datacenter(s) and supported by your staff. Each deployment of the LuxSci Platform is custom tailored to meet your needs and offers options for future revisions.

New User Taglines/Disclaimers: LuxSci has introduced a new feature that allows individual users to configure taglines/disclaimers that will apply to all email messages sent from WebMail or SMTP. These individual taglines work as long as the account administrator has not enabled a domain-wide tagline and works in conjunction with WebMail or email signatures.

Account administrators also have the option of setting up individual taglines or their users and can even restrict users from editing these taglines themselves.

New WebAide Manager Tool: LuxSci has revised its WebAide tools by extracting the administration and management features from the individual WebAides and putting them in a central "WebAide Manager" which works just like the "Email Folder Manager" tool. This results in a simplified and unified WebAide administration interface and simply way for you and your account administrators to manage all of your WebAides in one place. This tool also enables Account Administrators to view and configure a user's WebAides without access to the actual private WebAide content.

Premium Email Archival Discount: From now until March 31st, accounts who sign up for Premium Email Archival with Storage Control will receive a price of $5.50/user/mo instead of $8.00/user/mo.
