Excellent user interface
Clean, well laid out and uncluttered. Probably the best webmail user interface available thanks to
DHTML context menus, drag 'n' drop message moving, and a folder frame autohide facility for a more fluid
email experience (subject to browser capabilities).
Address book
Keep commonly used addresses to hand, with facilities to add
entries by hand or from received emails. Now sporting a much
enhanced UI and grouping facilities.
Multiple Indentities
For easy handling of multiple names, addresses and reply addresses
you can now define multiple identities and choose the appropriate
one at compose time.
Search facility
Quickly find emails with the built in search. Searchable criteria
include From, Subject, Body and Received dates. IMAP accounts have
the extra feature of being able to search multiple folders simultaneously.
Full support for attachments
View online (browser permitting) or download for offline viewing. All
types are handled, attached messages being treated just as any other message.
Multiple attachments can be sent with composed messages.
HTML mail
Can be enabled/disabled via preferences (also by administrator). Renders inline
with support for embedded images/objects (which are shown as attachments when in
text mode). Dangerous tags can be disabled through the configuration files.
Supports displaying text alternative when disabled, and displaying a tag stripped
version of the HTML when no text part is available.
Customisable
Many user preferences including From/Reply addresses, signatures, language choices
etc.

Standards compliant
Fully supports Internet standards, including IMAP4, POP3, SMTP and
MIME meaning integration with vast majority of mail servers is
possible.
Easy installation & configuration
Runs "out of the box" in most instances. Easily configurable using
php.ini style config files.
Low server load overhead
Efficient design utilises code only when necessary. Intelligent caching
system eliminates unnecessary calls to the mail server.
Virtual hosting
Host multiple customers across multiple domains from a single installation.
Different settings and templates can be used for each host if required, with
the host being determined from the URL. Per virtual host settings include:
signatures for outgoing messages, custom X-Mailer string, enable/disable HTML
email, caching and HTTP compression options, and changeable email restrictions.
Versatile data storage
Preferences and addressbook data can be stored in one of three ways: Files, Mysql
and PostgreSQL. Storage code is easily extendable to other types if required.
Internationalisation
Full customisation of the language used, selectable at login or through the users'
preferences. Currently ten translations available including German, Spanish, French,
Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Indonesian and Chinese (Traditional). All
phrases are held in a single file for easy translation.
Fully templated
Templates used throughout meaning that the look and feel can be altered to suit
any taste or requirement. Most changes can be achieved through the modification
of a few files eg. header/footer combination and the CSS file.
Security features
HTML mail can be disabled altogether, or dangerous tags can be disabled (eg. <script>,
<object> etc). Optionally external images can be disabled aiding prevention of spam tracking.
Support for SSL connections to IMAP/POP3 servers for secure connections to remote servers.
