Enhanced Calendar

If a user adds a new appointment (task) or contact while using Outlook or Webmail, the data will be automatically synchronised between the applications.

Enhanced Address Book
Webmail's enhanced address book functionality allows you to import and export contacts from/to CSV (comma separated values) file format. You can also sync your Webmail account with your existing address-books.

Spell Checker
Spell check your email before sending it using the built in spell checker with a new and updated language database.

Email Filters
Create rules to move specific messages or block unwanted senders altogether.

Webmail is one of our most popular features and we operate our Webmail system on a sophisticated hardware platform.

Additional FTP Accounts

Additional FTP accounts are most commonly used to give others access to an account for the purpose of sharing a web development project, without giving them control over the entire Website.
