LuxSci has increased the maximum size of a message that can be sent from WebMail from 50 megabytes to 70 megabytes. This refers to the raw size of the message content plus all attachments.
The encoded maximum size of message that can be sent or received via SMTP remains at 100 megabytes; however, this can be increased for customers with dedicated servers.
WebMail does not have any limit on the number of attachments, just on the overall size of attachments. WebMail supports receipt and viewing of messages that are up to 200MB in total (encoded) size.

 LuxSci has offered an “Xpress” WebMail portal for many years. The portal is fast, simple, and works with most devices because it does not use any JavaScript or cookies, and uses few images. The Xpress portal is good for security, privacy, and access from legacy devices, as well as over very slow connections.
However, the mobile device landscape is quickly changing. Starting with the iPhone and its full-featured Safari web browser, to the Android, the Palm Pre, and the availability of browsers like OperaMini on many phones, it is now the case that many “cutting edge” phones actually have fast web browsers that fully support JavaScript, AJAX, CSS, and broadband — all the technologies formerly the purview of the desktop. Their major drawback, however, is still the very small screen. Many of these browsers work perfectly well with most web sites, including LuxSci’s full-featured WebMail portal; however, it can be problematic and painful to use and navigate sites designed for large displays on these device’s small screens.
Enter LuxSci’s new “Mobile Mode”. Mobile Mode is a new feature of LuxSci’s regular WebMail interface that is available when it detects that you are accessing it using a mobile device, such as an iPhone.

 Many of our clients prefer and sometimes require the use of “Distribution Lists” to send email messages to multiple recipients.
We are often asked if LuxSci supports “Distribution Lists”. The answer is “Yes”, and we have three different approaches to send email messages to pre-defined lists of recipients. We feel that is helpful to present each solution using the same requirements and to compare the relative merits of each.

 LuxSci has long supported and recommended the use of security questions for users. When a user has a security question and answer, LuxSci support can use this as an alternate method of verifying the user’s identity. This is important when the user has forgotten his/her password or certain types of requests need to be verified.
While we have allowed users to provide a security question for many years, and have asked new account administrators to provide one at sign up for about the last year, use of a security question has never been mandatory. Starting today, all account and domain administrators are required to have a security question. Those who do not will be automatically prompted to choose one the next time that they login to the LuxSci WebMail user interface.
Users can choose a pre-defined question, or enter a question of their own.
We hope that this change improves the security of accounts and assists account administrators in recovering access quickly in cases where passwords are lost or where there is a dispute about account ownership.
If this change goes well, we will extend the security question requirement to all users.

 LuxSci has offered “Private Labeling” for many years. This feature allows customers to customize the look and feel of the WebMail and SecureLine interfaces to match the branding of their web site or organization’s colors.
Private Labeling tools now include:
- 11 new color schemes that can be selected to quickly configure WebMail to match your organization’s general color scheme.
- A new Private Labeled Theme Creation Wizard that allows you to select a color scheme plus upload your logo. The Wizard will then create a professional looking standard theme. Our wizard makes it easy and fast to create a theme that matches your organization’s branding — no HTML or programming skill is needed.
- A “Look and Feel Wizard” that allows anyone with an existing Private Labeled theme to similarly select a color scheme and upload a logo to re-design their theme using one of the new styles.
- Better organized theme management to further simplify theme access and configuration.

Continuing with the recent changes to the LuxSci Xpress mobile portal, the User Profile, Preferences, and Email Tools areas have been streamlined to fit on most mobile devices’ and phones’ web browsers. This allows users to easily configure their individual WebMail or WebAide preferences, adjust spam filter settings, setup autoresponders or taglines, and update their contact info or login password — all from the palm of their hand.
The only pages that remain to be updated in the Xpress portal are the Links, Notes, and eJournals premium WebAides. These are currently being revised for both the Xpress and the Full portals; the streamlined and updated versions of these WebAides will be released within the next month or so.

 LuxSci has updated its web-based User Group management interface from the ground up to provide users with a fast, modern, featureful experience. The User Group WebAides user interface now matches that of WebMail, Address Books, Calendars, Tasks, and Passwords in AJAX-based Web 2.0 speed, data caching, and usability.
User Groups WebAides are very useful in a collaborative environment for:
- Sharing WebAides (i.e. calendars, files, etc.) or email folders with groups of users instead of or in addition to individuals.
- Encrypting individual entries (i.e. files or passwords) such that any group member can decrypt the item, as long as they are a member of the group
- Creating email distribution lists so that it is easy to email everyone in the group.
The major changes that come along with these user interface enhancements include:
