Active Sync and Webmail changes

Good news on this Sunday.

ActiveSync

U Host now supports Active Sync. This gives means that the emails works almost the same as an Exchange account with contacts and calendaring functions, natively within outlook as well as android.

A followup post will contain a howto on the setup on Outlook.

The basic steps on Outlook is to add a new account with manual settings:
Protocol: ActiveSync on https
Server: https://mail.<your domain> (mail.coetzee.net.za)
Username: <full email> (ian@coetzee.net.za)
Password: <email password> (**********)

Webmail

Another change is that you can now add filters in the webmail. These filters will be applied to all incoming mail. This also gives you the option to set up an Out of Office reply.
