MYmailSERVER Groupware contains three Address-book types:

Global
This is a group of Address-book entries representing every account on your MYmailSERVER system. If you are providing public email services, the Global Address-book can be disabled via the WebAdmin control panel. The Global Address-book is useful to an organization of any size.

Personal
The Personal Address-book allows users to separate personal contacts from Global and Shared contacts. These contacts can only be viewed by the individual user-account.

Shared
The Shared Address-book is similar to the Personal Address-book, with the additional functionality of sharing contacts with other users (or groups of users). Shared contacts can be assigned read/write permissions; enabling the users with whom the contacts are shared to modify the contact entries directly. Optionally, read-only access can be granted to allow the entry to be viewed by selected users, but can only be modified by the original owner.


The Calendar functionality of MYmailSERVER Groupware allows users to assign tasks to one another and set appointments (reminders). Permission level settings are provided, enabling the owner of a task to enable or restrict the recipients' ability to modify the task.

The Web-based Calendar and address-book can be synchronized to a desktop client running Outlook 2000/2003.


You can create a global Calendar for your organization, and notify everyone of meetings and important events.

You can schedule and share tasks with other employees, (especially useful for adhoc Groups working on a project where members will be added or removed during the project lifecycle).

You can post a schedule for selected Users or Groups. For instance, create a Group for Sales and post
 sales leads and follow-ups to your sales team.

You can specify which users have read-only and read-write access to an appointment. In this way, you can allow only a specified set of people to alter the dates and details of appointments.


The MYmailSERVER database, utilizing MySQL, is used to store the Address-book and Calendar data.

Groupware features can be enabled/disabled on a per-group basis.

Using the WebAdmin, the Administrator can turn the feature on/off for the entire system ( i.e., disable Groupware for Freemail/ISP sites ). The Administrator can also enable the Groupware on a per-user group basis ( e.g Staff users )

Outlook Synchronization is available, allowing users to sync Outlook Contacts/Tasks and Calendar data
with the WebMail client.

Full Source-code included. License to customize the Groupware module to fit your needs.

The MYmailSERVER Outlook Sync Utility allows users to synchronize Outlook 2000/2003 Contact, Calendar and Task data with any email account hosted by the MYmailSERVER server. The synchronization is initiated by the client (Outlook). Support Includes:

Outlook 2003 and 2000 Support.

Synchronization of Contact, Calendar and Task data between the Outlook client and MYmailSERVER
server.

Support for local accounts created by MYmailSERVER, or any external POP3/IMAP account.

MD5 Checksums ensure data integrity during synchronization.

Full source-code included.

Simple installation utility for desktop-clients.

Optionally synchronize data between the WebMail server using HTTPS.


When using the WebMail interface away from the office, your existing Calendar, Tasks & Contacts from Outlook are available via the webmail interface.

Synchronize your PDA or PocketPC data with Outlook, and have a copy of all your data synchronized to the WebMail server.

Add contacts or schedule events, and the data is automatically synchronized between the desktop client running Outlook and the Addressbook / Scheduler in MYmailSERVER.

Utilize WebMail as a central access point for all your data online -- you no longer need multiple desktop
clients on different systems.


The MYmailSERVER Outlook Sync Utility is a standalone plugin for Outlook, which is downloaded by the user from the MYmailSERVER website. The installer package will automatically add the Outlook Sync plugin to Outlook, and will prompt the user to supply their MYmailSERVER account login details to synchronize with the server.

Outlook sync will compare Calendar/Task/Contact data between the desktop client and the WebMail server via the HTTP/HTTPS protocol. Using MD5 checksums, the plugin utility can identify new or modified data and synchronize the changes between the client and server.

The WebMail server of MYmailSERVER stores Calendar, Task and Contact data in a MySQL database. Using the WebMail interface, users can modify data synchronized with Outlook and the changes will be automatically copied back to the desktop client.
