Release: MailVault v4.1.11 (Mail source monitoring, restore search results via POP3)

MailVault v4.1.11 is available.

This release contains:

Mail source monitoring and alerting
Restore any search result set via POP3
Enhanced audit reports
Other minor fixes and enhancements

Mail sources now have a “monitor this source” option. When enabled, MailVault can monitor these email sources and alert you of email collection problems, which could be because of network issues, authentication problems or simply configuration errors at your mail server. Mail source monitoring alerts can be enabled from Settings > Alerts.

In addition to the numerous flexible methods of retrieving and restoring email from within MailVault, this release adds yet another super-convenient option for power users. Run and refine your search, select the messages from the result set and choose to “Restore via POP3″. This is especially useful for large result sets, where you may not want to saturate your mail server by forwarding all that email over SMTP.

Release: MailVault v4.1.8

MailVault v4.1.8 is available.

This release contains several improvements.

When MailVault is launched for the first time, on a server that doesn’t have a GUI, MailVault automatically drops into a text-only mode for the initial settings. It is now easier and more convenient to setup MailVault on remote systems in the cloud, or on ‘headless’ virtual private servers over just a simple SSH connection.

Additionally, email encryption has been enhanced, a pagination issue in the People Directory listing has been fixed, improvements have been made in some UI elements, and several minor fixes and enhancements have been done.

Release: MailVault v4.0.0

MailVault v4.0.0 is available.

This is a major release with new features, improvements in security and search, usability enhancements and many minor fixes.

The new stuff includes:

Users can access their archived email from within their email clients, via MailVault’s new IMAP server. A small email restore, is now as simple as, copy-paste or drag-drop, from one email folder to another.
MailVault now offers SSL support, using auto-created, self-signed certificates for all network connections. This means convenient security, at zero cost.
Starting with v4, the index format has been changed. This will allow for even more granular search, as well as improve search performance.
MailVault alerts now include estimates about when the available disk space will be used up, and how many more messages it will be able to accommodate. Although the estimates are approximate, we expect them to be very useful for the administrator.

A couple of important points to take note of:

The new index format will cause a new archive to be automatically created and activated. The current archive will be accessible via Plug’n’Play. While this is a minor inconvenience, the benefits will be worth it.
Using IMAP on MailVault could consume additionally memory. So if your MailVault system is low on RAM, we recommend you use the regular web-interface, or restrict the number of users allowed to use IMAP.

Lastly, the changes we have made, also set the foundation for other improvements expected over the coming weeks. Stay tuned. As usual, we’d love your feedback.
