A lot of people have been asking lately if there will be any additional costs for Neptune, the latest version of webmail, including calendar and tasks. The answer is NO—there will be no additional costs for these features and upgrades. All customers and resellers will automatically receive the latest version of webmail, which includes calendar and tasks—at no additional cost.

Some other questions that have been popping up are:

Will the calendar and other features synch with desktop email software like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird?

No, we’re not building synch features at this point in time. We’ll never say “never,� but right now, we want to be as clear as possible that desktop synch is not on our near-term product roadmap.

Will I be able to share my web-based calendar with other users?

Not yet. However, we believe in the power of collaboration and being able to collaborate with co-workers as well as others outside of work. We’re in the process of thinking through our collaboration strategy, so stay tuned.

Will calendar and tasks be integrated into Webmail Lite?

Yes, we’ll be offering calendar and tasks inside of Webmail Lite, free of charge. I’m not sure when that will happen yet but it will be high on our priority list once we release Neptune.
