| You are invited to participate in the IMail Server 10.0 Technical Preview Program!
The IMail Development Team has been hard at work on the latest release of IMail. This release includes many exciting new features that have been requested from our user base. The Technical Preview Program allows users to interact directly with the IMail development team to experience and perfect new features and functionality within the software.
If you're enthusiastic about working with new technologies, new product features, and the latest versions of our applications, then we have some really exciting things to show you!
Note: We would recommend, at least for the early Preview versions, that you do not install on a production server. We are introducing an optional mail storage format that will introduce additional risk in a Preview release.
Highlights of What's New in IMail Server 10.0
•New Digital Rights Management. IMail Server 10.0 Technical Preview and future releases will require a new activation key upon first use.
•Optional MailDir message storage. Please see release notes linked below for details on how to change your system to the new format.
•Low bandwidth templates for Web Client.
•Web Client impersonation by system administrator.
•User password complexity settings.
•Account suspension for failed logins.
•Silent install options.
•Optional checkbox selection method in message grid for both low-bandwidth and standard web client templates.
•New user interface for contacts display, contacts create/edit, and user preferences screens.
•Defect fixes and improvements. See release notes for details.
There will be additional features in future Technical Previews Release Candidates which will be available before the final release of IMail Server 10.0.

| | Tom, Thanks for the invite to participate. I will be installing this on a Windows 2003 64 bit, multi-processor server. Is there anything I need to know in advance of the installation? Thanks,

Is Imail still using Access as the native database?
Nothing has changed in this version with the default database. The default user database is still the registry with options of using a SQL database. The contacts database is still an Access database by default, but it can be migrated to a SQL Server database if needed.

Hi Bruce,
I would recommend reading through the release notes for what is new in IMail 10.0. There are details about the new MailDir message storage in there that you may need. Other than that, you should be ready to install.

Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity, why don't you convert away from Access to something like MySQL or SQL Server Express? |

| For the user database, we don't have a default database type. That's up to the admin to decide which database to use. We supply functionality for odbc access to whatever type of database is configured in the ODBC settings.
For the contact database, we use the WorkgroupShare database by default, which is an Access database. Since the WorkgroupShare database defaults to Access, we do the same. WorkgroupShare does support a SQL Server database as an alternative.
