LuxSci WebMail supports the export of address book entries as vCard files and of calendar entries as iCal files. Now, WebMail further integrates your email with your address book and calendars.
If you receive an email message with a vCard file or an iCal file (or even an Outlook/Exchange meeting notice) as an attachment:
That attachment will be parsed and displayed nicely inline in WebMail
You will be able to send vCard attachments to your WebAide Address Book to add as new contacts
You will be able to send iCal attachments to your Calendars as new events
Additionally, from within your address book or calendar you can select entrie(s) and click on “Send as vCard” or “Send as iCal” to compose a new email message with those entries attached.
LuxSci WebMail and WebAides makes it easy to send and receive calendar and address book entries between LuxSci users and other users whose email programs support these standard event and contact attachment file formats.
Tagging items has become one of the hallmarks of modern web applications. Delicious and FireFox allow you to tag your bookmarks, Facebook lets you tag people in photos. Flickr supports tagged pictures. Blogs permit you to tag your posts. The list goes on and on.
Tags are incredibly useful because they enable categorization of items in a dynamic and natural way. Items can have multiple tags and you can make them up yourself as you go, so that they are meaningful to you and in the context in which you are working.
The odd thing is that tags are not yet very prevalent in most mainstream email programs (except perhaps Gmail) and collaboration tools like contacts, calendars, etc. This is where LuxSci jumps in. LuxSci has had full tag support since June, 2007; in recent months, tagging has become easier and more powerful due to updates to our GUI (graphical user interface).
LuxSci has released several improvements to its WebMail and WebAides user interfaces that add to your productivity and are more user friendly and powerful. The most significant changes include:
