We will be performing a major upgrade on Icthus Connect early Saturday morning 1/26.

This upgrade will take us to the much anticipated release or version 5.0.1

Whats new in version 5.0.1?

Email Folder Sharing: Any folder in your inbox (including RSS feeds and subfolders) can be shared with others. You have the ability to provide read only-access or allow others to manage.

Many Productivity Enhancements: Pick from multiple email signatures, set message priority, add images to contacts, and select multiple messages and forward them all at once are among the many features added to the Web Client

More Calendar Scheduling Options: New advanced features in Calendar include: the ability to mark events in your shared calendar as 'private,' move events from one user's calendar to another's; import and export calendar events as standard ICS (iCal) files.

Tasks: Manage all your tasks including select start and due dates, choose their priority as well as keep track of progress and percent complete. Tasks can also be organized and saved into folders and easily be shared with other end-users as view-only or full management access. Tasks also sync to Outlook via our MAPI Connector.

Briefcase: Store all your important files in Briefcase instead of as email attachments, which can be saved in one click directly to a Briefcase folder. The folders are shareable with other end-users and files can be easily emailed to others directly from Briefcase.

Documents GA: Documents is out of Beta. Users can create and edit wiki-style documents online with tables, images, or spreadsheets and can easily share and collaborate with others. Document history lets users quickly revert unwanted changes.

Faster Performance: New optimizations such as 'lazy loading' further reduce Web Client start up time

Mobile Users (Requires an additional plugin. Contact us for details.)

iPhone and Mobile Browser Support: iPhone and other devices that support for HTML / JavaScript can access the server directly to view email, contacts, and calendar. You can compose messages as well as view folders and tags.

Native Blackberry Support (Beta): Icthus Connect Mobile can now interface directly you're your Blackberry Enterprise Server. With minimal configuration you can get email, contacts, calendar syncing over-the-air to your favorite Blackberry device.

Task Syncs: Mobile server can now sync your Tasks to Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices

Desktop Connectors

Connector for Outlook 2007 GA: End-users can now sync their email, filters, contacts, calendar, and tasks to Outlook 2007 using our MAPI connector. Other enhancements include: view your mailbox quota, improved support for Roaming Windows Profiles, Reminders sync, and support for multiple Mail Identities

Desktop (Beta): Desktop is officially beta; allowing end-users have the Icthus Connect experience in the browser online and offline. Desktop supports email, contacts, and calendar and can be used on the Windows, Linux, or Mac desktop.

We should also see support for sharing calendars through your websites. This feature will still require some minor development and testing, we will send out another email when the feature is fully functional and ready for use.

If you are an existing mobile device user, your first sync after the update may take longer than normal.

Thank you!
