MDaemon ActiveSync

MDaemon Messaging Server includes support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) (2.5, 12.1, 14.0 and 14.1 Protocols), which is a separately licensed ActiveSync (AirSync) server. ActiveSync provides native synchronisation of a user's default email, calendar, contacts and tasks data between the MDaemon server, WorldClient (MDaemon's web-based email client) or Outlook (using the Outlook Connector plug-in) account and an ActiveSync capable device. Other features include: Customisable Device IT Policies, Remote Wipe, Autodiscovery, Multiple Folder Synchronisation, Global Address Lookup, SSL Encrypted Transmissions, Device Whitelists and Blacklists, Forgetting Inactive Devices and Device Protocol Restrictions.

Key Features:

• Multiple Devices under One Account: Any user can have multiple devices of any make/model on a single account, making it easy to sync all your MDaemon email, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes (if device supports each feature). The administrator can also limit the number of devices each user can have on their account.
• Push Email: ActiveSync for MDaemon uses Push email technology that provides an always-on capability, in which new email is actively transferred (pushed) to the device after it is received by the MDaemon mail server.
  
• Customisable Device IT Policies: Enhance your mobile device security through ActiveSync policies. You can manage pre-defined policies and create your own policies from the Mobile Device Management screen.
• Public and Shared Folder Access: Public and Shared folder access can be controlled at the user, domain and server levels.
• Sessions Window: The ActiveSync Sessions tab in MDaemon's main interface displays activity for all devices or mail clients that are currently connected to MDaemon via ActiveSync, including session ID, connecting IP, domain, account and device type.
• ActiveSync Options: ActiveSync Options can be configured for optimal performance for your specific environment. When troubleshooting ActiveSync issues, the log level can be set to "Debug logging" so that more detailed information is written to the ActiveSync log.
• Remote Wipe and Soft Wipe: If a device is lost or stolen, the MDaemon administrator can use the Wipe command to erase all data on the device and restore the device to its factory default state.
• Autodiscovery: A user can easily create an account on their mobile device by entering their email and password. The feature facilitates the discovery of core account configuration information by using the user's SMTP address as the primary input, which significantly simplifies the configuration of mobile devices.
• Multiple Folder Synchronisation: ActiveSync bundles all sync requests together instead of doing a sync for each folder separately, so battery life and data won't be consumed constantly and there's far lower message delivery latency.
• Global Address Lookup: Global Address List (GAL), also known as Global Address Book, contains contact info and other resources associated with a contact to enable your MDaemon users to look up your other MDaemon users' contact info.
• SSL Encrypted Transmissions: Secure Sockets Layer, it's used for transmitting private data securly. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data - a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message.
• Device Whitelists and Blacklists: ActiveSync supports a device ID, device type and device OS whitelist and blacklist. You can whitelist or blacklist devices based on their ID, type and OS values.
• Forgetting Inactive Devices: The ActiveSync Options screen will let you specify the number of days of inactivity after which MDaemon will forget about a particular device.
• Device Protocol Restrictions: The Restrictions screen lets you specify User Agent and Device Type values and restrict devices matching those values to one or more specific versions of ActiveSync.
