| NOTICE TO ALL USERS: If you have the following drives, please see the related Seagate Knowledgebase to see if you are affected: Firmware Recommendations for Barracuda 7200.11, ES.2 SATA, and DiamondMax 22 Drives http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/c...cId=207931 All hard drives that I replaced in January are affected by this issue. I have now applied the Firmware Update to both servers (hence the random outages today). Unfortunately I was not lucky with my Desktop hard drive. That drive failed with some data loss. Seagate is replacing the drive.  EDIT: 20 MARCH 09ÂAlthough the firmware update had been applied, the web server hard drive has failed. The site is currently running on Database server. Luckily there has been no data loss in this case, as far as I can tell.P> | | - - - - - - -

| Update 25 March 09: The Web Server Hard Drive has been replaced and is back to normal. Probably Thursday evening, I will be working on the Database server. I feel that If I reboot now, it will not come backup up. I have the replacement drive in hand, but need to schedule some time to make the necessary preparations for the replacement. I will make every effort to minimize the down time of the site during this process. | |

| Here is the latest (5 April 09):
The replacement drive for the Database was also defective, thus causing yet another delay. Finally on Friday, I was able to get yet another replacement drive, get the data restored and get things updated and back to what I hope is normal.
I apologize for the service interruptions, but this was a situation that was well beyond my control. The whole process between the 4 drives was just over a month. I am glad to put this issue to bed.
As a side note, I will no longer recommend Seagate hard drives to anyone

|  | | Mail Server v1.0.8.3 |
- Added support of STARTTLS (STLS) command for SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP relay and delivery, which will
allow secure, fully encrypted connections, when possible;
| | 11/6/2011 1:10:34 PM |
| Mail Server v1.0.8.2 |
- Optimized delivery speed. In earlier versions each "tick" which was checking whether messages were
in the outbox queue, was picking up only one message at a time. Now it will attempt to pick MaximumAllowedThreads-ActiveDelivery threads
messages, which should considerably increase deliver speed;
- Optimized SEARCH and STATUS IMAP commands. They appear to be used very extensively by Android, and (not that extensively, but still) by
iPhone. Now users who use mobile phones to access their IMAP accounts will see considerable improvement;
- Optimized STORE IMAP command. Before storing of IMAP flags was occuring one message at a time, which seemed to be fine
with SQL server, but proved to be slow for SQLite... Now it happens with single SQL call.

| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.1 | -
Fixed a bug: when using IMAP via Firefox with "When I delete a message, move it
to Trash folder" option, marking messages in the trash folder was causing high CPU usage,
and was taking some time, making the server pretty much non-responsive. The problem was
happening only when using SQLite.

| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.0 |
- Fixed a problem with web interface - was showing only first page of messages, and would not
switch to other pages; In order to fix the web interface, mail server itself has to be updated;
- When installint initially, was still using SQLite, even when SQL was requested;
- There was a problem with switching from SQLite database engine to SQL server database engine:
the SQL database was not being created;
| | 5/23/2011 5:53:55 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server .NET v1.0.7.9 |
- The server no longer requires Microsoft SQL Server. If SQL server is not found, it will use
SQLite engine, which does not require separate installation. If SQL server is found, then user will be
prompted whether he wants to use it;
- Made other improvements, such as, now mailbox rebuild indexes orphaned records, rather then deleting them,
also added an opotion to increment UIDL validity of folder (both on the Mailbox viewer box);
- Made minor improvements on web interface;
