Locked Employee Post Sticky

All,

Welcome to the BETA of the next SmarterMail!

If you haven’t done so already, go check out the SmarterTools Blog. We’re going to be posting at least 3 blogs that detail how this next release will benefit users, domain administrators, and system administrators.

DISCLAIMER

As this is BETA software, we encourage you to use a test environment and install BETA builds, test upgrades of copies of your existing installations to the BETA, etc. You SHOULD NOT run the BETA in production as there is no downgrade path. We will be unable to offer support if you install any BETA on a production server.

Installing the BETA

When a new build is available, we will post an update below. Scroll to the bottom of this thread to find the latest BETA build available.

(To get updates, please click on the Subscribe button for this thread.)

Licensing the BETA

New installations of SmarterMail will work as the Free Edition, which can be used with 1 domain and up to 10 mailboxes. To obtain a BETA license key, email sales@smartertools.com. The BETA key will activate as:

A 90-day trial of SmarterMail Enterprise Unlimited, and
90-day trials for EAS and MAPI & EWS

What to Expect

We encourage you to post your impressions, questions, and even problems in the SmarterMail BETA category of our Community. Developers and support staff will participate and address anything posted, and we’re sure others would like to hear what you have to say, just as we do.

Finally, thanks to all of you who are participating. With your help, we can make this one of the most successful releases we’ve ever done. It’s already one of the biggest versions, let’s work together and make it one of the best!
