(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Email management appliances and software developer AtMail (www.atmail.com) has released version 5.6 of its flagship AtMail email management application, which now includes iPhone push mail support, DKIM filtering and improved WebAdmin functionality.
According to AtMail's announcement this week, the company's Linux-based, easy-to-use email application includes support for iPhone and Windows-Mobile, featuring Push functionality. Atmail provides the gateway for any IMAP4 server to deliver webmail to virtually any hand-held device.
"The new Atmail Push feature enhances the accessibility of email resources, allowing users to receive email on their handset in real time," AtMail vice president Corey Bissaillon said in a statement. "Until now, customers with these handsets were locked in to using the mailserver chosen by the device manufacturer but now there is an alternative: Atmail server with Push."
The new release also included an improved calendar that allows users to synchronize group meetings and events. It also now offers fully integrated DKIM support with Transport Layer Security for message authentication and anti-spam measures, providing increased webmail security.
AtMail Webmail 5.6 is available starting at $300 for a small operation of 10 users, however, there are discounts based on volume of users and packages are scalable to meet the needs of large corporations.
Atmail is currently offered through Internet service providers such as Hostway, iiNet, UK2Net and China's mail56.com. In December, Atmail announced that its Atmail Open webmail product would be offered as part of Parallels Plesk Panel 9, a major suite of hosting solutions.
To demonstrate its webmail applications, AtMail released a new online evaluation tool that lets visitors compose messages, explore the webmail interface, connect AtMail WebSync to Outlook and visit the online scheduler to schedule group appointments as though they were using AtMail.
WHIR editor Liam Eagle talked with Bissaillon at HostingCon 2008 about AtMail's Clustered Edition.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
