[Newsletter OX Hosted Edition EN]

Dear Friends and Partners of Open-Xchange,

Welcome to the Open-Xchange Hosting Newsletter. This month´s news at a
glance.

1. Open-Xchange Preview
2. Open-Xchange supports Internet Explorer 8, discontinues support for
Internet Explorer 6
3. Open-Xchange at HostingCon, Washington DC


1. Open-Xchange Preview
Open-Xchange gives you access to the latest developer version at
http://ox.io and shows you in advance all the new features you can
expect with the next software release. These are the highlights of
Open-Xchange 6.10, which is planned to be released at the end
of July 2009:

* Open-Xchange overcomes the barriers between the variety of
desktop and web applications, where we store and handle our
multiple addresses, appointments, tasks and documents. This
preview enables the integration of private webmail accounts
(from Google, Yahoo, etc.) into a separate folder in Open-Xchange.

* Contact details from your "social networks" such as Facebook or
LinkedIn will be added automatically to your Open-Xchange address
book. Thus, you will always have easy access to the latest contact
information within your personal network.

* Social Open-Xchange also means that users without an Open-Xchange
account can benefit from Open-Xchange, as well. For example, with
Open-Xchange there is no need to send large documents as an
attachment via e-mail. Open-Xchange users can give users *OUTSIDE*
their company access to their Open-Xchange data in a controlled way -
without sending the information via e-mail.

Take a look at what will be possible tomorrow, and get your personal
accout at http://ox.io

2. Open-Xchange supports Internet Explorer 8, discontinues support for
Internet Explorer 6

Open-Xchange has added support for the latest Microsoft Internet
Explorer 8. At the same time, we will discontinue our support of the
outdated Internet Explorer 6, though we will continue to fix bugs in
the category "blockers" and "critical" for Internet Explorer 6 until
April 30, 2010. Starting with the next major release, version 6.10,
new features of Open-Xchange Server will only be optimized for Internet
Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 -- as well as other browsers, like
Firefox and Safari. As users of Internet Explorer 6 will not benefit
from new features in Open-Xchange, please encourage your
customers to update to the latest browser technology.
