GroupWare objects available via IMAP respecting permissions. Combined folder list aggregates GroupWare and IMAP folders, manageable through Administration GUI, API, Connector, IceWarp WebClient, and any PHP applications.
Advanced bit rights, new sharing concept introduced, inheritance-based, rights are per folder and inherited from parent root folders, priority: users – groups or domains – anyone, intelligently applied to all subfolders except when changed for particular folder.
IceWarp Connector for Microsoft Outlook is a plug-in which implements MAPI Storage provider to utilize IceWarp GroupWare Server collaboration capabilities over IMAP protocol, natively enabling the full scope of Outlook sharing, planning, resource management and email features.
Supports Outlook 2000 - 2007. Server push: instant update of new or changed items. Advanced Permissions (IMAP permissions) management. All groupware functions available within Outlook supported. Most of the features/functions of Outlook are supported (over 95%).
Microsoft licensed protocol for native over-the-air synchronization of iPhone and Windows Mobile powered devices without the need to install any synchronization plug-in. Mobile OS support out of the box for Windows CE, PocketPC, Windows Smartphone, Windows Mobile 5,6, iPhone OS X, Symbian S60, S90 powered Nokia phones (latest firmware), Palm OS 4, Palm WebOS.
Allows synchronization of emails, contacts, calendars, tasks with DirectPush always-on capability.
GAL can be any contacts folder with GAL flag, can be populated automatically by group members with single click, can contain photos, certificates. Multiple GALs are supported, GAL folders are automatically synchronized when new users are added. If no GAL is found the default contacts folder is treated as GAL.
GAL is accessible for users even if the groupware license is not purchased.
iDisk-like access to files, calendars, notes… WebFolders are WebDAV resources mapped as a disk drive, secured by permissions applied. In Windows, use Map Network Drive or Network - Add Network Place - Other Network Place and enter http://server/webdav/john@doe.com, authenticate and you are all set.
Supported by Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Apple iCal, Internet Calendars allow cross-platform access to calendaring data. Only the user's default calendar folder is available with expanded event recurrences to the given interval, but other calendars can be enabled using permissions. ActiveSync and XML format parameters support added. Access URL: http://server/calendar/?user@domain

SyncML Updates
Funambol SIF format revision, SIF XML tweaks. Special characters encoding to entities encodes CR LF and others to (for Funambol Blackberry client and ActiveSync). Support for Table Data Structures (Nokia). Updated Mail Parser.
SyncML with Funambol - Email Error
Incompatible Server Error is because of Funambol restricting the use of the client to their own server product. A possible workaround is editing the \\\registry\HKLM\Software\Funambol\SyncclientPIM\server\Ext registry on the device and setting the value of smartSlowSync key to 1. Note that Push must be turned off otherwise it will rewrite the registry entry on each synchronization.
Permissions Owner Role
Record owner role ensures that items created by a user will be always visible to that user, that in read-only access mode user can still edit his own objects (e.g. update his information in GAL since GAL automatically sets them as owner of their items), and that without read access, user can still see his own objects.
Files Directory Mapping
Makes real server directories accessible via IceWarp WebClient's File folders, Outlook File folders, SyncML, CalDAV and by other means.
Free/Busy Updated
Free/Busy vs. Event Status vs. Event Transp handling completely updated. Access URL: http://server/freebusy/?user@domain
Free/Busy Privacy
Free/Busy respects ShareMode settings. The GroupWare account must have the ShareMode set to anything but Private to allow access. To disable any external access, ShareMode can be set to Private. This can be done via Outlook Connector or WebClient. This way users have the final word if there is going to be any access to their data allowed.
Internet Calendars Privacy
Internet Calendars respect permissions settings and only default calendar is shown, other can be enabled using 'anyone' rights. Users must have a way to close any access to their account information if there is a reason, because Internet calendars offer all public objects with all vital information, not just Free/Busy status. To allow access, they need to set everyone/anyone permissions on their default calendar folder.
Virtual Folders
Virtual folder is a group of local folders of the same type, be it email or GroupWare folders. Any application can add, delete, edit, search, make interval queries on multiple folders, private, shared and public, of any resource type, all in single session. This facilitates several new features in WebClient (address auto-suggestion from shared accounts), ActiveSync (having multiple contact folders available even if not supported by Windows Mobile) and others.
Email Alerts To Shared Folders Subscription
Emails are sent to users who are granted some access on each permissions change, alert includes access rights, folder name, by whom the resource has been shared. User can't miss a new share anymore.
Shared Accounts Listing
New function that return a list of shared resources: public accounts, users that share to you, groups you are member. Facilitates more intuitive and user-friendly sharing in WebClient, auto-subscription to public folders and others.
Shared Account Prefix
Lets you specify additional prefix for shared accounts, these can contain path delimiters and national characters.
Nested Root Folders
A public folder or a shared account does not have to be a root folder for itself, but a folder hierarchy level. You can put all shared accounts into a root folder such as "Shared Accounts" using the new GroupWare shared account prefix option. It applies to both IMAP and GroupWare folders.
As a result you can have multiple public folders but still make an impression of only one root folder (e.g. Public\Division1, Public\Division2).
Root Visible Option
New option to allow/restricts access to a public/shared folder root. If allowed, it is possible to open a shared folder that you do not have subscribed yet, and all folders of that account would be returned. Handy for systems where you do not wish to subscribe to resources and just want to peek.
Login To A Public Folder Allowed
If a public folder is based on user account, it's possible to login to this folder to make any modifications e.g. from WebClient. Addresses any problems with manually (incorrectly) mapped public folders to a user account.
Versit Object Can Have Unlimited ItemAttributes
Versit objects have been expanded to support multiple attributes of the same type, e.g. x notes, x photos, x certificates, x IM addresses and so on.
Contact Photo
A contact can have a photo attachment for better personalization in user interfaces. The photo gets synchronized between CalDAV, SyncML, ActiveSync, Outlook Connector and IceWarp Web Client, and is only updated when changed by the user, to avoid format conversion issues.
Rename/Delete Default Folder
Using a new folder attribute and new API functions to control default folder attributes, users can delete or rename any folder in Outlook or WebClient.
Bulk Rename Default Folders
New dialog in Administration GUI allows to bulk rename or localize default GroupWare folders on selected domains and accounts. Ensures that folder names are properly encoded in UTF-8.
Default Folder Localization Support
Default folder names can be localized via calendar-custom.xml and are automatically integrated with existing folders. There's no duplication thanks to internal 'default' folder attribute.
GroupWare Tickets
Tickets are IDs used to anonymously access GroupWare items, used for SmartAttach, CalDAV, API SmartAttach files (private or public) accessible from WebClient, Outlook Connector, WebDAV.
Transaction Processing- Lock/Unlock Transactions
Because of several applications accessing GroupWare concurrently, all functions have been converted to support transaction processing (DB, Notification, LDAP, Reminder). Thanks to transaction processing, adding 10 thousand contacts via vCard functions takes 3 sec, API support).
Enhanced API
Thanks to smarter, more capable and easy-to-understand API functions, implementing a new engine accessing GroupWare server, for example a CalDAV Server, is a matter of hours.
DB SQL Injection Projection
SQL Injection protection for GroupWare and other DB API against common hacking attempts using own WHERE clause.
iTIP/iMIP Revised
RECURRENCE-ID CANCEL, REQUEST and ADD methods used when changing only a single occurrence (not the whole object). UID handling rewritten to support EvnUID, no more data sensitive EVN_ID. Full email address support for Organizer and Attendee tested and updated, iTIP messages contains proper CN= and iMIP From and To. Accept iMIP status update, Email address of alarm is reset so attendees do not send alarms to the organizer.
New Time Formats
Floating, UTC, TZ.
Interval queries- TZ support
Handles local date/time, UTC date/time and TZ, primarily for CalDAV and ActiveSync.
Versit UID
Unique Versit UID's introduced, primarily for CalDAV, which don't collide with GroupWare DB primary keys.
Redesigned Versit Format Functions
Versit format functions have been completely changed, multiple different formats supported:
Reminders Enhanced
Support for X-MOZ-LASTACK added, absolute and relative TRIGGER, multiple VALARM support. TRIGGER - Absolute time - VALUE=DATE-TIME support. Recurrent events vs. absolute alarm trigger handling.
iCalendar Properties
Support for X-OUTLOOK-BUSY-STATUS, X-OUTLOOK-APPOINTMENT-COLOR, RRULE BYSETPOS, smart integration of TRANSP and BUSY STATUS (validity checked and TRANSP used if in violation).
VJOURNAL
Support for X-OUTLOOK-TYPE and X-OUTLOOK-COMPANIES properties added, linked to EvnLocation and supported by IceWarp WebClient. Improves compatibility with Microsoft Outlook.
VCALENDAR
New VCALENDAR statuses - DEFERRED, WAITING, for vTodo Deferred and Waiting status, Deferred = CANCELED, Waiting = No STATUS.
IM Location
ContactLocation - support for LctIM, LctIM1 and LctIM2 added, Versit support for IM implemented.
Files Folder Unicode Support
Files folder UTF-8 and Unicode support added, supports any file system Unicode charset.
Event Expiration Implemented
Event Expiration Implemented using daily thread. Allows to automatically remove SmartAttach attachments from File folders after preset expiration. Generally any GroupWare object can have an expiration time.
