1. Introduction


Welcome to MailSite Fusion 10. These release notes contain valuable information on the latest features and improvements in this release of MailSite Fusion.

MailSite Fusion 10 includes an enhanced ActiveSync server that brings native email, calendar and contact sync to Microsoft Outlook 2013. It also brings support to an increased list smart phones for push email, calendar and contact updates over-the-air to BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, iPhone, Android, iPad and other smart phones and tablets. For all but the BlackBerry devices, this is achieved without any plugins, and no expensive and complex middleware is required.

We have invested significant amounts of time testing and profiling MailSite services against many different use cases and clients. This has allowed us to implement caching strategies to improve the responsiveness of the services while significantly reducing disk and network IO.

We have enhanced the ExpressPro web client to make use of the performance improvements, and added support for responding to meeting requests and offline mail processing.

The main new MailSite Server version 10 features are:

4. Installation

This program will install all the necessary components to run MailSite as an email server or a gateway. This program will automatically detect the installation method: UPGRADE INSTALLATION

This covers an upgrade from any installed version of MailSite (4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x). The upgrade installation process keeps all the previous settings and does not make any modifications. It will, however, add a new Windows account called MSIISUSER and will add some non-intrusive permissions to this account for the use of MailSite ExpressPro running under the IIS web service. This new Windows account is a standard user we have adopted which will be needed in future MailSite upgrade installations. The only problem that may occur is that propagation of this new user rights can take a long time if the message store is large.

The upgrade installation process does take into consideration previous MailSite Clustered installations. All permissions, settings and configuration settings will be left intact.

IMPORTANT: With the release of MailSite 9.4 The Express and Pocket web clients are no longer supported. If they are installed on your system they will be removed during the upgrade process. Please contact support if this presents a problem for you or your customers.

NEW INSTALLATION

The new installation assumes that any previous version of MailSite has been removed or the operating system has been newly installed. The installation will configure MailSite with the necessary accounts and permissions for the MailSite directory and subdirectories.

For additional installation documentation please check:
https://www.mailsite.com/support/docs

CLUSTERED INSTALLATIONS

New clustered installations require additional configuration. When clustering MailSite please keep the following information in mind: Additional information can be found at:

5. Security Configurations

Table 1 - MailSite Security Settings

9. Known Issues

Within this release of MailSite there are these known issues within the product that will be resolved in a future release :-

9.2 ExpressPro

In some circumstances, where local text is longer than the equivalent English text, controls on some ExpressPro pages are misaligned.

Some error and warning messages are shown in native English when a local language has been configured.

ExpressPro supports a wider range of Recurrence rules than are currently supported by Outlook.  In some cases Outlook may fail to display complex recurring events or display an error when amending such events.  Clearly we have no control over Outlook's recurrence feature set, so would encourage simple recurrence rule usage when planning to synchronizing with Outlook.

After synchronizing Contacts between Outlook and ExpressPro, formatting of the Outlook notes field may be changed.
