What's NEW in MDaemon 10?

A new look!
The most noticeable of improvements from the outset is an update to the user interface making it more accessible to new users and easier to manage for existing users.
Gone are the multi-tabbed option windows which have been replaced by more modern 'tree control' option windows. The menus and tool bars have been simplified and rationalised whilst the GUI has also received a new graphical look.

It's at this point we should assure existing users that despite the new look, the features you've come to appreciate are still all present and correct!

Improved WorldClient webmail client
Recognising the ever increasing need for users to be mobile and have easy quick access to their email, calendar, contact and task folders, MDaemon 10's release sees many significant improvements to its webmail client - WorldClient. Users will now appreciate the ability to select a theme and language directly from their login page while users in seperate time-zones will also benefit from the ability to select the appropriate time offset when viewing their information.

The simple theme has been revised with the goal of being even cleaner and easier to use on low bandwidth connections whilst also providing a fully accessible interface to visually impaired users who may be using screen readers or need larger font sizes to be able to use their account successfully.

WorldClient's LookOut theme, being the most popular theme by far, has improved in v10 in several ways making it a truely viable alternative to traditional application based emails clients like Microsoft Outlook but with the benefit of requiring nothing other than a connection to the MDaemon server and a modern web browser. Users will notice immediate and significant improvements in performance along with new enhancements such as a threaded message view, column display customisation, improved message compose window and improved contacts view combined with generally improved cross-browser support.

ComAgent messaging client
A much improved and modernised interface make ComAgent a great tool for your users, providing them with a secure messaging client for use in the corporate environment. As well as providing instant messaging and new email notification, ComAgent also provides quick and easy access to your WorldClient webmail account.

Domain sharing (requires MDaemon PRO)
Domain Sharing is a new feature which allows you to split a domain's users across multiple servers running anywhere you wish. Domain Sharing eases the setting up of branch offices which wish to use the same domain but have different users. With Domain Sharing you can have a portion of a domain's users on one server and another portion on another server.

MDaemon FREE
MDaemon is now also available in a FREE version. Although restricted to 5 users and missing some of MDaemon's more advanced features, MDaemon FREE should prove to be popular with people wanting to run their own email server but without the expense of having to purchase a software licence.

Please note: Some of the features described above may not be available in MDaemon Standard or MDaemon FREE or may require the SecurityPlus or Outlook Connector plug-ins which are available seperately. Please refer to the feature comparison chart.
