Improved Look and Feel: LuxSci has improved the look and feel
of its WebMail interface by introducing revised Vista-like icon library
and by updating the presentation of many dialog boxes.
WebMail Tagging Improvements: WebMail now takes advantage of the
knowledge of what tags have been used previously on an email folder to
make the addition of new tags to messages easier and to make searching
for messages based on tag more intuitive.
Email Folder Management: The "properties" an an email folder
that you can access via the email folder management tool now pop-up in a
dialog box. This significantly enhances usability, simplifies the
presentation of the tool, and makes the interface more intuitive. Users
can now also edit the properties of an email folder directly from the
WebMail message list interface.
WebAide Management: The "properties" an a WebAide that you can
access via the WebAide management tool now pop-up in a dialog box. This
significantly enhances usability, simplifies the presentation of the tool,
and makes the interface more intuitive. Users can now also edit the
properties of a WebAide directly from the WebAide interface.
WebAide Import and Export: All of the import and
export functions of WebAides have been moved into the "Properties" page
for the WebAide, available in the WebAide management area. Now, all
administrative functions for WebAides are consolidated into that single
interface. Additionally, all WebAide exports now support the option to
only export those entries matching your most recent advanced search. Also,
you can now export WebAide eJournals, Links, Notes, and Documents as XML
and CSV files.
Improved Tag Management: The email message tag management dialog
box has been improved to make the addition and removal of tags faster
and easier. It is also now possible to create new tags right from
this dialog box.
WebAides Replace "Categories" with "Tags": WebAide
categories have been replaced with a "tagging" functionality identical to
that used in WebMail. This allows users to use the same add/remove tag
interface and the same list of tags with both WebMail messages and
WebAides entries (i.e. calendar items, address book entries, etc.). Unlike
with categories, tags no long have to be "pre-defined" to be used with a
WebAide and anyone who can edit an entry can tag it.
The option to display the list of entries in a WebAide by "category
index pages" has been removed; all WebAides can be filtered by Tag now
using the "View" selection, just like in WebMail.
WebAides "Tag" Features: WebAide users can now
remove tags, rename tags, and move entries from one tag to another using
the new "Tags" WebAide property editor.

Basic Spam Quarantine Reports:
Users of LuxSci's Basic Spam and Virus
Filtering Service who save spam and/or virus messages to a separate
folder will now receive daily emailed reports of "what is new" in those
folders so that they can easily see the status of their Spam and Virus
storage areas and detect any false positives. This report is optional,
though enabled by default.
Duplicate Message Removal:
LuxSci's email folder management tools have allowed users to remove
duplicate email messages from email folders using custom criteria for some
time. Now, users can remove duplicate email messages from the current
folder in directly the WebMail message list interface by selecting the new
"Remove Duplicate Messages" option from the "Folders" menu. This "do it
now" option will use your stored duplicate message criteria for the
current folder, if you have any, or common-sense defaults for what
generally constitutes a duplicate email message.

Bigger WebAide Attachments:
LuxSci's WebAides now accept attachments
up to 50 MB in size — increased from the previous limit of 15 MB.
April 5, 2008
MySQL v5 Support:
LuxSci now supports MySQL v5 databases for use by its web hosting clients.
LuxSci's infrastructure has also been updated so that future versions,
like MySQL v6, can be easily and quickly supported once released... even
if they are not backwards compatible with existing supported versions.

New Help Interface:
LuxSci has re-written its help interface from the ground up to provide a
much more user friendly experience. Some of the new features include:
natural language searching, bookmarking, commenting on help, printable help
pages, viewing a history of all pages you have recently seen, finding
articles similar to other articles, searchable PDF files, improved
determination of search relevance, and an improved organization of the help
documents into various "books" with hierarchical tables of contents.
New Support Ticketing Interface:
LuxSci has re-written its support ticketing interface from the ground up
to provide a much more user friendly experience. Some of the new features
include: automatically finding answers to your support ticket questions in
our help and adding attachments to support tickets.
Feature Improvements:
Several features have also been added or improved. These include:
- The HTML editor used when composing email messages now supports
Safari v3+ and Opera v9.5+
- When adding new users to accounts that employ our "basic spam and
virus filtering service", administrators can now enable the filter for
their users at creation time (even if the users are created in bulk).

The LuxSci Software Platform:
LuxSci's software solution: our software, your servers.
The LuxSci Platform is a version of the LuxSci Email and Web System designed
for you, the Customer, to be able to deploy and manage email and web systems
in your own datacenter(s) and supported by your staff. Each deployment of
the LuxSci Platform is custom tailored to meet your needs and offers
options for future revisions.
February 1, 2008
New User Taglines/Disclaimers:
LuxSci has introduced a new feature that allows individual users to
configure taglines/disclaimers that will apply to all email messages sent
from WebMail or SMTP. These individual taglines work as long as the
account administrator has not enabled a domain-wide tagline and works in
conjunction with WebMail or email signatures.
Account administrators also have the option of setting up individual
taglines or their users and can even restrict users from editing these
taglines themselves.

New WebAide Manager Tool:
LuxSci has revised its WebAide tools by extracting the administration and
management features from the individual WebAides and putting them in a
central "WebAide Manager" which works just like the "Email Folder Manager"
tool. This results in a simplified and unified WebAide administration
interface and simply way for you and your account administrators to manage
all of your WebAides in one place. This tool also enables Account
Administrators to view and configure a user's WebAides without access to
the actual private WebAide content.

From now until March 31st, accounts who sign up for Premium Email
Archival with Storage Control will receive a price of $5.50/user/mo
instead of $8.00/user/mo. To take advantage of this off, all you have to
do is order ... the special price will be automatically granted.
