In a similar vein to mobile devices, there are email and calendar apps which now integrate tightly, offering handy features such as notifications. It's easy to see why some users will end up switching to this as their preferred method of access, so in this post I'll show you how to configure MDaemon to synchronise with these two key apps.

Alt-N have just released an update for the spam and virus protection bolt-on for MDaemon Messaging Server. It only consists of a couple of minor fixes but they are important ones...
