Latest version is an entirely re-tooled email system that combines the benefits of advanced webmail with the control and security of in-house email.

AtMail, a provider of Linux-based email management appliances and software, today announced AtMail 6.0, its entirely re-tooled email system that combines the benefits of highly advanced Webmail with the control and security of in-house email. The company states that AtMail 6.0 eliminates the need for costly "boxed" email licenses, saves time and headaches associated with traditional desktop email management and provides a dynamic, single email interface for use internally or remotely via the web.

It explains that AtMail 6.0 is designed for organizations that are looking for new, smarter and more efficient email systems that cost less, are easier to manage and promote improved productivity and collaboration through dynamic features like integrated email thread visibility and Web-based administration. It combines the growing benefits of cloud-based computing with the security and control many organizations require when it comes to email. The company claims that AtMail 6.0 is a great, low-cost alternative to Microsoft Exchange and a more secure and robust offering than pure Webmail systems like Google's Gmail.

It states that AtMail 6.0 extends its ability to deploy Web-based email and archival solutions to small and medium sized businesses, government and education institutions. The company also says that now organizations of all sizes can easily design and customize an enterprise-grade Webmail and server solutions to manage email and collaboration processes that meet unique demands and changing business conditions.

"We've spent the past year working with our global customers to develop a Web-based platform that will redefine how email is deployed, managed and used within organizations of all types and sizes," said Ben Duncan, Founder and CEO at AtMail. "Email is the lifeblood of how organizations communicate, and AtMail 6.0 takes aim at leveraging the benefits inherent in both on-premise and Web 2.0 email systems for end-users and IT managers alike."
