We’d like to introduce you to a new addition to Ensignia Mail: a Twitter updates plugin (enm_twitter). The plugin displays Twitter feed on the Ensignia sidebar. Each user can customize their feed settings by specifying the Twitter name to follow and the amount of entries to show. The new plugin is included in the package available in to the Enterprise license holders in the customer area.
To enable the plugin, add this line to the file config/config.php:
$plugins[] = ‘enm_twitter’;
For the plugin to display properly on the Corporate theme, you will need to upgrade the theme to its latest version (also available in the customer area).
Enjoy your tweets!
We’re pleased to announce the arrival of the long-awaited Bravo theme for Roundcube! With its sleek design, smooth icons and convenient positioning, Bravo is a great enhancer of the Roundcube webmail experience.
Bravo ships with its mobile version counterpart that works on iPhones, smartphones with Android and Windows Phone! The theme selector plugin makes sure that the correct theme version is loaded depending on the type of device used for checking the mail.
The theme is available in our store for $49 (the package includes both the desktop and the mobile versions of the theme). If you’d like to see Bravo in action, visit our Roundcube online demo.

Thank you all for your input concerning the Alpha and LiteCube skins. We have now finished fixing the reported problems and implementing the new functionality that you requested. The upgraded themes and the theme selector plugin are now available for download!
The Alpha theme has undergone a complete overhaul. It has been re-coded from scratch to support all the available Roundcube functionality and to work better with plugins. (Change log.) LiteCube didn’t need as much fixing, but we did fix some problems and added some missing plugin icons. (Change log.)
The main improvements of the mobile versions of the themes include better support for Windows Phone and fixed address bar hiding on iPhone and Android. (Change log.)
The theme selector plugin (which switches between the desktop and mobile themes depending on the browser used) also got upgraded and had one major bug fixed. (Change log.)
If you have an active upgrade license, you can download the new themes from the customer area. If you are interested in purchasing the themes, you can do it in our store. You can also see some screenshots here and a live demo here (login info: test (at) nutsmail.com / testtest).
But that’s not all the news we have for you today! We just finished working on the long-awaited Bravo theme for Roundcube. We’re now running some final tests, and the theme should be available for purchase in a few days! Stay tuned!

The shared calendar plugin included with the Enterprise version of NutsMail is a popular item. It allows creation of public or private event calendars that can be shared between groups of users.
The easiest way to manage the calendar data is to store it directly in the data folder of your NutsMail installation. This is accomplished by enabling the “calendar_file_backend” plugin. No initial setup or configuration is necessary, but this solution has its limitations. If users log in to NutsMail from under different domain names, they may be denied access to the calendar files created by other users.
To remedy this situation, the shared calendar functionality should be set up with the “calendar_sql_backend” plugin. With this plugin enabled, the calendar data is stored in a database, which eliminates the access denied problems.
To use the sql backend plugin you need to create a database, specify its access information in the plugin config file and manually create the database tables. This is a bit more troublesome than using the ready-to-go file backend plugin, but it provides a more flexible solution for inter-domain calendar usage. Happy calendar sharing!

The Roundcube team has been very busy this past year, they released 7 upgrades to Roundcube! The latest version, 0.7, doesn’t introduce any new functionality, but it does fix a lot of bugs and security issues. We wanted to make sure our skins are fully compatible with the newly released Roundcube before we crack the New Year’s champagne, and we made it! You can download the fixed Alpha and Alpha Mobile from the customer area. Litecube and Litecube mobile didn’t need any fixing, so there’s no need to re-download those.
And since this is probably our last blog entry this year, we wanted to wish you all a happy New Year and thank you for using our NutsMail and Roundcube themes! We hope to provide you with even more and better software in 2012!

As you may have noticed, NutsMail comes with a handy little plugin called NutsMail News. It’s an RSS feed reader that displays the latest headlines from the news service of your choice on the sidebar. You can choose from many pre-defined news services in several languages, or you can define your own. The RSS is retrieved and displayed using AJAX, so it doesn’t slow down the loading of the webmail.
Some of you reported that if NutsMail runs on an SSL-secured server, the plugin causes a browser warning. We have now fixed this issue, so the plugin can be safely used over SSL. If you’re having problems with the SSL warnings, re-download the Enterprise package from the customer area and upgrade to the latest version of NutsMail.
This plugin is available for the Enterprise and Unlimited license holders. If you have a Basic or Premium license and would like to see how the plugin works, you can test it on the demo site. There are more advanced features available with the Enterprise license that make the webmail experience more complete. If you like any of the features listed, and you’d like to upgrade your license to Enterprise, it’s easy! All you need to do is pay the difference in price between the license you have now and the license you’re purchasing. Let us know if you’re interested!

We have just released a minor upgrade to NutsMail (version 4.2.1) which fixes some small bugs and issues. We’re actively working on the next major release, NutsMail version 4.3, which will be fully compatible with DeployMail, our new mail management system for WHM and CPanel. DeployMail will enable WHM admins to manage domain-specific NutsMail settings and resell NutsMail themes to their CPanel clients. Version 4.3 will be capable of running independently just like the current versions do, but with one setting change it will become fully integrated with the DeployMail control panels.
But while we all wait for this Star Trek-like technology to become available, let’s not forget to upgrade to NutsMail 4.2.1, which is available in the customer area.

There is an odd bug in the Android 2.x browser. Hyperlinks covered by popup menu boxes are still clickable, even though they are not visible. Since our NutsMail mobile themes use popup menus to economize on space, this bug caused strange problems: users trying to click Forward or Reply would actually click the links located under the menu, like Open Message or Write Email.
We have just released new upgrades to fix this problem, so if you use NutsMail mobile themes, we encourage you to upgrade them to the latest version available in the customer area (version 2.2). We hope this fix will make life easier for all the Android users out there.

Our Alpha skin is getting better with every upgrade! Thanks to a pointer from one of our customers in Scotland (devonto.com) we have fixed the problem with the plugins registering their buttons on the settings bar. The upgraded theme version (2.0.2) is available for download in the customer area.

We upgraded our Roundcube Alpha skin to version 2.0.1. This upgrade fixes some display problems on Internet Explorer 7 and 8. We recommend that you suggest to your Roundcube email users upgrading to Internet Explorer 9 or above, since the earlier versions aren’t fully compatible with the latest technologies used in Roundcube so there might still be some display discrepancies there and there. You can download the latest version of the Alpha skin from the customer area.
