A lot of customers ask why we name all of our servers using hostnames that fall under a very generic domain name. Bill gave a very good explanation of this today, so if you’re interested, here is his blog post on the subject. Likewise, if you’d like to learn more about our private label email [...]

If you’d like to subscribe to this blog but don’t know how, we just posted detailed instructions on how to do so via your RSS reader inside of your webmail account. Subscribing via webmail will also allow you to access blog posts via desktop email software like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. The instructions will [...]

As we grow our staff and form different “divisions,” with different responsibilities, we’re really hoping that our customers channel their communications properly so that we can best serve their needs. So we’re starting to put more ways to contact us on our website in an effort to properly channel that communication. We just revamped our [...]

Mike just finished coding the beta version of our shortcut tool for subscribing to RSS feeds. It’s a pretty nifty tool, especially if you’re a power RSS subscriber. I’ll warn though, it is still in beta and lacks some of the user-friendly aspects you’ll find in other apps we bring to market. Here are the [...]

Bill, our chief technology officer, just launched his blog. Bill is the mastermind behind our email hosting system, specifically the infrastructure (hardware, servers, etc.). I asked Bill to start blogging because he’s one of the smartest dudes I’ve ever known and I think there is a lot of value in getting his thoughts online. Likewise, [...]

One of the features we got rid of when we launched our new website was the ability for returning customers to sign up for email hosting. This feature allowed existing customers to sign up quickly because we were storing their original contact information, etc. It also set them up so they could manage all of [...]

We’ve fallen a few weeks behind on our next product development release, code named Neptune. Neptune is a huge project that includes faster webmail (with heavy incorporation of Ajax), Calendar (also Ajaxed) and Company Directory, which will allow email administrators to populate webmail address books from the control panel, providing email users with ‘read-only’ access [...]

We recently promoted Nell-Marie Colman to product manager. She is responsible for a broad range of projects here at Webmail but most importantly, she is now the first ever product manager for our control panel. The control panel has made it pretty far without putting a product manager in place, but it has become such [...]
