SmarterMail v9 was released as public stable release back on Jan 2012. With the non-stop continuous effort by SmarterTools, SmarterMail v10 has been released for public beta testing as a step forward.
Protection from downtime with failover
A very long-awaited feature for SmarterMail has been failover. Since mail servers have become the hub of all communication and collaboration within a company, any interruption in service can significantly impact an individual’s, not to mention an entire company’s, productivity. Protect your mail server from experiencing such an outage by having a second server as a hot standby. SmarterMail Enterprise licensing and the EULA will now include the ability to have a secondary mail server in standby mode at not additional cost.
Multiple contact email addresses
SmarterMail 10.x expands its contact management to include support for friends, family and business associates who have more than one email address. For example, include both a work and a personal address so that you can keep your personal emails separate from their work emails, and vice versa. You can even sync these multiple contact addresses across multiple devices using technologies such as SyncML, Microsoft ActiveSync, SharepointSync, Exchange Web Services and others.
Mobile interface for smartphones
While it’s true that you can use your phone’s email client or calendar app to view your inbox and check you daily schedule, there are times when that’s not always possible. For example, you’re at lunch with a friend and don’t have your phone and you need to check your schedule to make sure you’re not late for any appointments. To solve this problem, we’ve created a simple, yet effective, mobile interface just for smartphone users. Managing email, contacts, calendars, tasks and notes on Android, iPhone and Windows Phones via the mobile interface is hassle-free and easier than ever.
Simple set up with auto-discovery
With SmarterMail 10.x, we’re making every effort to reduce the amount of time necessary to configure clients on both desktop and mobile devices using IMAP, SMTP, POP, Exchange ActiveSync or Exchange Web Services. With auto-discovery, only the email address and password are necessary on most clients and all other configuration information is automatically configured. Auto-discovery will make life much easier for users setting up their own accounts and will dramatically decrease the amount of administration and support needed from a company’s IT Department.
Availability checking in Outlook for Mac
Users who sync their mailboxes with Outlook 2011 for Mac via Exchange Web Services (and who eventually move to the next versions of Outlook for 
Windows that will support EWS) can now check the availability of meeting attendees right from within the Outlook interface. Using the Scheduling Assistant from within Outlook means that you will never double-book appointments again and that you’ll always be able to see who’s available when you need them.
Lost a Phone? Worried about personal data? Remotely Wipe!
Mobile devices are used for nearly all aspects of our personal and professional lives so they end up storing vast amounts of critical information: contacts, bank account information and even personal or business documents. Now more than ever the ability to remotelywipe a lost or stolen mobile device is critical to prevent your personal data falling into someone else’s hands. SmarterMail 10.x now provides this functionality so that system administrators can now quickly, easily and securely wipe a mobile device from anywhere, at any time, using the SmarterMail 10.x Web interface. Best of all, while the mobile device will be set to factory defaults, all personal information with still be in SmarterMail and can be re-synced to the recovered or even a new device.
Conference Room Scheduling
An important feature in Microsoft Exchange is the ability to schedule time in conference rooms, and many customers have asked for this feature to be included in SmarterMail. We’re pleased to announce that SmarterMail 10.x now includes this functionality and eliminates the need to manage separate documents or calendars for conference room availability.

- 8-bit MIME support.
- Support for ActiveSync 14.1 which includes the ability to determine if a message has been replied to or forwarded from your mobile device.
