Kerio WebMail
Kerio MailServer comes with two different webmail
interfaces:
Since Kerio WebMail offers most of the groupware
features
of "fat" email clients, it makes it
a great alternative to Microsoft Outlook.
Conversely, Kerio WebMail Mini was designed for
maximum speed when viewing email from the small
screen of a PDA device or an old web browser in
an Internet cafe.
Real groupware capabilities
Just like a real desktop application, Kerio WebMail
lets users view and manage email, calendars, contacts,
notes and tasks over both corporate LANs and the
Internet.
Rapid responses
Speed of access has been always an issue with
webmail, so Kerio WebMail takes a different approach
from traditional solutions. It downloads only
updated segments of a web page rather than downloading
the entire page. With faster mail browsing, administrators
can replace traditional email clients with webmail
with less protest from users.
Automated message retrieval
Kerio WebMail automatically checks for new messages
without requiring the user to refresh the screen
or click on any buttons. Even when a user leaves
a WebMail window unattended, new incoming messages
will pop-up in the inbox.
 Public,
private & shared Contacts
Users can access and manage their private address
book from webmail. Since contacts are centrally
stored at the server, it has never been easier
to share them with other users or synchronize
them with Outlook or Entourage.
Users can also subscribe to multiple public address
books so that departments can share their self-managed
directories with their entire organization.
Similar to server-based mailing lists managed
by mail server administrator, a Distribution List
is a group of private contacts and email addresses
masked as a group name.
For greater Outlook synchronization, Kerio WebMail
and Kerio WebMail Mini can create Distribution
Lists or use Distribution Lists created in Outlook.
Users can name distribution lists (for example
"Soccer Tournament") and add members
to it from their Contacts or simply by typing
in an email address.
When a user sends an email to a Distribution
List, Kerio MailServer automatically replaces
the name of a distribution list with a list of
actual email addresses, streamlining the process
for sending an informational email to a large
group of recipients.
Calendar and reminders
Kerio WebMail hosts both private and shared calendars.
From WebMail users can view other people's calendars
or share their calendars with selected colleagues.
Just like in Outlook, when an event or appointment
is due, Kerio WebMail pops up an event reminder.
Therefore no important event is ever missed, even
when connected from a remote location.
Integrated advanced features
Kerio WebMail integrates technologies and features
to make working with webmail as productive as
working with a software email browser.
- Out-of-office reply
The smart auto-response filter will automatically
send your out-of-office reply message while
you are gone, and not duplicate the message
to addressees that send you more than one email.
- Free/busy time lookup
Schedule meetings with colleagues and check
their availability from WebMail.
- Drag & drop for email and calendar
events
Moving email messages between folders has never
been easier. Just drag the message and move
it to another folder.
- Email Address query
Just type the first few letters in the address
bar and click the search button to list names
from your address book that match your query.
- Right-click menus & shortcut keys
Many actions are accessible via the mouse's
right-click menu. To make the WebMail experience
even faster, keyboard shortcuts are available
for the most frequent actions.
- Spell checker with customizable dictionary
No more worries about a misspelled word or two.
The integrated spell checker allows you to add
your own words or expressions in addition to
its extensive dictionary.
- Send & receive attachments
All incoming pictures can be directly displayed
in the email preview window. Up to 10 attachments
can be sent at a time.
- Spam filter learning mode
Junk email that slips through SpamAssassin can
be marked as spam. The message is automatically
deleted and Kerio MailServer will increase the
spam rating for messages of that type. Messages
inaccurately labeled as spam can be marked as
valid and the server will reduce the spam rating
for such messages.
- Custom mail filters
Server-side mail filters allow you to sort messages
to any of your folders or forward messages based
on several criteria. Once configured, there
is no need to set any filters in whatever software
email client you may be using.
- Customizable From & Reply-To addresses
You only need to fill out a different Reply-To
address to receive answers at some other account,
such as info@company.com.
- Custom signature
Attach your pre-defined signature to every email
you send out.
- HTML editor
Just like your regular email client, Kerio WebMail
allows you to create nice-looking HTML emails
from your favorite browser.
