AXIGEN Mail Server - WebMail First Impression

Once installation and basic configuration are done, I went ahead to test Axigen WebMail.

There are 2 WebMail interfaces to choose from - AJAX or Standard.

AJAX Interface

Standard Interface

Did you notice the logo in the AJAX interface?

Yes - "Technology Preview", it is still being developed. Currently, the Calendar and PIM features are not integrated yet. :)

If you choose to use this interface and click on Calendar, a pop-up window will redirect you to the Standard interface. I hate pop-up!

Integrated Email & Calendar in Standard Interface

For the moment, I'll stick to the Standard interface. Good enough for me.

What's next do I usually look for in WebMail?

Almost without fail, I'll look out for Filters (see Say goodbye to Yahoo Mail) and Auto-Responder.

I found an interesting feature - Temporary Email.

Users can request a one or more random temporary aliases for use when subscribing to public sites, in order to avoid spam; temporary email addresses expire after the time period defined by the administrator.

Technically, this is nothing but aliases.

But from end-users' perspective, this "user-self-service" feature is intuitive. And it saves them the hassle to apply temporary email addresses via Administrators, which takes days at times.

This proves again great feature does not have to be complex.
