New Web Client: Mobile Preview

As promised in last week’s blog post previewing the new web client, here are some images of the upcoming mobile friendly web client.

Stop by next week for additional previews of the new web client.

New Web Client Preview

The development team is currently working on a new web client to be released in our next major version of IMail Server. It will include a revamped user interface, tasks, notes, a mobile friendly interface and much more. Here is a preview of what’s coming.

Come back next week for a preview of the mobile web client.

When was the last time a user logged in?

In the life of an administrator, especially for those managing a large number of users, we struggle with user managment. Users are added and removed frequently and depending on the size of your organization the list of accounts adds up overtime. This often results in in a large number of users who are part of the system but their accounts are never used. As an admin we do our best to make sure that these accounts have been removed or disabled, but sometimes a few do get overlooked. To help with this problem we’ve released a new utility that allows you to view the last time users logged in to their IMail Server account.

Last Login Reporter UI

Last Login Reporter UI

The Last Login Reporter allows you to display a list of users who have not logged in during a specified period of time. You can view a list for all users on the server or filter by a particular domain. You can exclude system, domain, and list administrators from the results as well. Once the results have been returned you can then save the results or delete the accounts from within the utility.

To download the Last Login Reporter, along with many other utilities, jump over to the IMail Admin Utilities Pack.

Password Managment, Part 2 – Password Audit

After you configured your domain password complexity rules, as discussed in Part 1 you will then want to audit your domain(s) to determine which users do not meet the requirements you’ve put in place using the new Password Strength Checker available in the IMail Admin Utilities Pack.

The Password Strength Checker will scan each password for the users on the system and then return a “Pass” or “Fail” result to let you know whether or not the particular user meets the requirements you’ve put in place. You can select whether to run the utility for all domains on the IMail Server or just for a specified domain. The report results can then be saved as a .txt or .csv file.

Note: Once you’ve configured your password complexity rules, web mail users who do not meet the requirements will be automatically redirected to a page that requires them to change their password before continuing.

Password Managment, Part 1 – Password Complexity

One of the most common reasons for a mail server to be hijacked is due to weak passwords on user accounts.  Unfortunately some users like to make their passwords very easy and simple to remember and this sometimes makes that password very easy to hack.  Over the last several versions of IMail we’ve made adjustments to accounts in order to help administrators get a better control over what passwords can be used by end-users.  In this post we’re going to discuss how to enforce password complexity requirements and how to audit your users to ensure they are not using weak passwords.
