LuxSci has updated its WebMail interface to provide a much tighter integration with its Documents WebAides. In particular, users with a Premium WebAide license can now:

• Send any email attachment directly to a Documents WebAide from the WebMail message view screens. No need to download and re-upload files.  No need to switch between WebMail and Documents WebAide interfaces.  Its fast and easy: click a link next to the attachment and a small dialog appears where you then select the Documents WebAide to send the file to.
• Add files from your Documents WebAides to new email messages.  When composing email messages in WebMail, you can now select files from any of your Documents WebAides in the email “Attachments” tab of the composer.  Multiple files from various WebAides can be added with just a few clicks.  Even encrypted files can be decrypted and attached to your email message with a click.

With these updates, Documents WebAides become much easier to use as a central repository of your files.

LuxSci’s WebAides Documents have been enhanced for quick and easy sending of one or more saved files via email.

In a Documents WebAide that you are using for file storage:

1. Select one or more documents (files) with your mouse.
2. Start a new outbound email message with these files attached by either:
   • Selecting “Entries > Email Files” from the menu, or
   • Pressing “Control-Z”, or
   • Clicking on the “Email Files” toolbar command, if you have added that option
3. The WebMail email composer is now open in a new window with these files already attached and ready to go!

LuxSci has added a “Documents” widget to the portfolio of widgets available to users for customizing their use and access of LuxSci.  The Documents Widget:

• Allows access to any document storage WebAide that you have access to — even shared ones.
• Allows viewing and downloading documents
• Allows uploading new documents to the WebAide storage location
• Allows deleting of unwanted documents.
• Allows you to specify how many documents to display at once and permits paging through all of the documents if there are many
• Color codes the documents by tag and uses icons to indicate the file types
• Allows showing only documents that are tagged with specific tags.
• The document list auto-updates to show changes to the underlying list of files.

File storage at LuxSci just got much quicker and easier.  Using custom hot keys, users can access their documents instantly from any page of LuxSci’s web site.  Documents are also now available in Mobile Mode via this new widget.

Everyone always harps on the necessity of privacy when discussing health care, government, and banking communications.  It is surprising how little attention is paid to email security with regards to accounting and tax preparation.   There is a real danger of identity theft, unintended information disclosure, as well as invasion of privacy when using tax preparation services or organizations that do not use secure email.  Why is this?
