Just this past weekend, I installed the latest version of the Imail Server email software onto the SCE Email server.  Quite a few improvements have been made behind the scenes for mail processing, server administration & management, and some tools from an older version of Imail were improved and brought back into the mix with version 11. There aren’t a plethora of new features for SCE Staff and Students, but a few that are worth mentioning here:

1. When using the Webmail client, you can now perform quick searches for contacts near the top right corner of the screen.

As you type, the system does a quick search based on the first few letters you type and auto-suggests a contact.  This is a bit more optimized than before when the system had to perform a more lengthy search of the contacts

2. Any person you send an email message to can now be added automatically (or auto-magically as I sometimes say) to your web-based address book.

If you use the ICS Shared Calendaring system on your pc, and contacts that get auto-magically added to your web-based address book will at some point get synchronized to your Microsoft Outlook address book.

3. For managing web folders, when you use the CHECK ALL option

4. Word & character count for each message
