We would like to have a fuller-featured webmail component for .Net than the current Webmail .Net Lite. Is there anything that is available for the MailBee component for .Net that is similar to the ASP webmail which contains the formatting and folders capabilities?

MailBee WebMail Pro .NET currently is in development and will be released in a few months. It'll support composing HTML formatted mails, folders, AJAX and all other features of WebMail Pro ASP as well as many others.
Best regards,
Andrew

Do you have a listing of the anticipated features of the .Net component and a scheduled release date? Will it have a spell checker?
This will determine if/when we purchase the mailbee component.

MailBee WebMail Pro .NET will support the following features:
AJAX user interface
Folders: Inbox/Sent/Drafts/etc., folders management and navigation
WYSIWYG Editor (creates HTML e-mails in Rich Text mode)
Preview pane (you may take a look at the screenshot of UI with preview pane)
Storing e-mails in database (attachments are stored on disk as separate files)
Databases supported: MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL Server
IMAP4 synchronization
Advanced Contacts and Groups
Mail Search feature
Advanced users administration
Advanced filters system
Automatic marking messages as Read/Unread
Personal Signatures
SPAM filtering options
Multiple POP3/IMAP4/SMTP accounts per user
Personal user settings
Multi-lingual interface (English/Deutsch/Swedish/Turkish built-in, can be easily translated to other languages)
International charsets support
Timezone offset specification
All features of current version of WebMail Lite .NET
Although WebMail Pro .NET won't have spell checker support out-of-box, we can integrate any third party DHTML editor with spell checker (like Cute Editor or DbNetSpell) individually for you in terms of a custom project.
Release date isn't assigned yet, but I think it'll be in 2007 Q1.
Best regards,
Andrew

This looks GREAT! The spellchecker will certainly be a plus.
Is the plan to provide the .Net webmail for the same or similar price as the ASP webmail component? Will you be providing the source code for the component too so we can customize as required?

Pricing policy may change (it has not been defined to the moment). Not because WebMail Pro 4.0 is written in .Net and (there will be ASP and PHP editions as well, like it's already done with WebMail Lite 4.0) but due to other factors.

Yes! Also, the source code will be easier to understand and modify than in the current version. In fact, WebMail Pro 4.0 will be a new product re-written from ground-up.

Alex

Thanks. One final question. Will there be a Web Services version of WebMail Pro 4?

Each WebMail 4.0 installation (including Lite and Pro, ASP/PHP/.NET) will have two sets of pages: HTML output and XML output. XML output is used for AJAX interface. Although it's not exactly a web service, it mostly serves the same purpose - exchange data via XML.
If you would like to examine it in more detail, you can download WebMail Lite. WebMail Pro 4.0 will use the same approach to XML as Lite version already does.
Regards,
Alex

For those of us savy enough to do this integration to components like the Cute Editor can you provide the source code so we can integrate it in ourselves?

MailBee WebMail Pro .NET (as well as all other MailBee WebMail family products) will be shipped with full source code which is fully customizable and you're free to modify it and integrate any components you need.
Best regards,
Andrew

It's still in development and it seems it'll take a bit more time to complete development than we expected. Although no release date assigned yet, we'll inform you when it gets released.
Best regards,
Andrew
