the professional edition
The Professional Edition of Endymion MailMan
is aimed at installations where an easily-installed and full-featured web-mail
solution is the goal. As the diagram illustrates, the Professional Edition downloads
messages from the specified POP3 server and stores them on the HTTP server,
so that they are archived even after they have disappeared from the POP3 server.
Since the Professional Edition stores messages itself, it
can offer more advanced functionality than the Standard Edition,
such as organizing messages into folders. The Professional
Edition also offers address books, user preferences including
an outgoing signature, and the ability to check multiple external
mail accounts. Endymion MailMan, Professional Edition is perfect
for Internet service providers that would like to offer a
full-featured web-based email interface for their existing
users, companies that want to provide web-based email gateway
to the outside world for employees, free email services and
many other situations.
The Professional Edition and the Standard Edition both share
the same robust and time-tested interface and message rendering
code that allows users to send and receive attachments, it
allows you to fully customize the interface to merge with
your existing web site, and allows you to customize the POP3
and SMTP server names so that your users don't have to understand
those details. If you would like to see the Professional Edition
running on your own server, a fully-functional 30-day evaluation
distribution is available online on our download
page.
