Description

Welcome to Ipswitch Collaboration Suite. ICS provides email and real-time collaboration capabilities, calendar and contact list sharing, and protection from spam and viruses. Ipswitch Collaboration Suite is packaged in two editions:

• ICS Premium includes Ipswitch IMail Server, Web Messaging, Instant Messaging, Premium AntiVirus, Premium Antispam, and WorkgroupShare.

• ICS Standard includes Ipswitch IMail Server, Web Messaging, Instant Messaging, Standard Antispam, and WorkgroupShare.

For more information about ICS components, click on a component in the list below to read the release notes:

• IMail Server
• IMail AntiVirus Premium
• Ipswitch Instant Messaging
• WorkgroupShare

New Features

• Web Messaging (Web mail client) lets you send and receive mail using a web browser. You can log on to the Web Messaging from a browser on any computer with a supported browser and manage email without installing email client software. IMail Web Messaging uses the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) to manage mail on the server. When a user creates a mailbox in the Web client, the mailbox is created on the mail server and mail folders and messages reside on the server.

• IMail Web Administration (server) provides local or remote access to IMail Server administration features via a Web browser. You can administer all email functions, including users, groups, services, shared calendars and contacts, and anti-spam and antivirus settings.

If ICS WorkgroupShare is implemented in current ICS version, Microsoft® Outlook contacts automatically transfer and sync with IMail Web Messaging.

• Ipswitch Instant Messaging (server) provides local or remote access to Ipswitch Instant Messaging administration features via a Web browser. You can administer all instant messaging functions, including users, public contact lists, stored conversations, and server access. As a new feature, Ipswitch Instant Messaging integrates with Microsoft® Office products by using Smart Tags. IIM Smart tags are person's names or email addresses that are associated with an IIM contact. Microsoft Office automatically recognizes smart tags in any Office document.

IMail Web Messaging, Web Administration, and Instant Messaging supports:

Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
Mozilla 1.7 or later
Firefox 1.0.6 for Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 and later
Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1

Components

Ipswitch Collaboration Suite contains some or all of the products listed below. The exact components depend on the edition you have purchased.

• Ipswitch Instant Messaging v2.05
• IMail AntiVirus Premium Edition v1.3
• IMail Antispam Premium Edition v1.0

Uninstalling

Note:

• Removing IMail Server using the Add/Remove Programs applet does not delete the IMail directory or the subdirectories and files it contains. To remove these, you must delete them manually.

Downgrading

You can downgrade the ICS 2006 back to the original ICS installation (v2.0, 2.0A or 2.01) without uninstalling as follows:

1. Open the Registry Editor and locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{42A05E51-7514-4330-A784-B4C45412F04D}

2. Change the Version value to 2000000 (hex)

3. Launch the ICS 2.0x install and proceed as normal.

4. When asked if you would like to convert your LDAP database, select no.

Note: The IAdmin and IClient virtual directories and web files will still be on the computer.

Starting the Web Admin and the Web Client

After installation, you have the option to launch the IMail Web Admin automatically. If you choose not to launch IMail Web Admin automatically, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you installed ICS Web Admin. For example: http://mail.domain.com/IAdmin, then press ENTER. The Web Admin login page appears.

-OR-

Click Start > Programs > Ipswitch IMail Server > IMail Server Administration. The Ipswitch Web Admin login page appears.

To launch the Web Client, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you have installed ICS Web Client. For example: http://mail.domain.com/IClient, then press ENTER. The Ipswitch Web Client login page appears.

Important: To use the Web Client, the IMAP Service must be running. Turn on the IMAP Service in the Web Admin, under the Services tab.
