Hello.

I am running Webmail lite 5 and hmailserver both in the same server. Also followed the steps to integrate Webmail lite with Hmailserver and everything works well. Webmail lite connect via IMAP to Hmailserver. Only domains enabled in Hmailserver are granted to access the webmail (no one domain is added to webmail admin panel).

In this scenario, is it useful to have "Direct mode" enabled?
If yes will this cause any "Data replication" ? i mean, Hmailserver stores messages in his data location, so does webmail lite also stores a copy of the messages in another data location?

In webmail pro tutorials i sow a step by step "How to" to bypass login screen using Webmail pro API's Is there a similar tutorial for ASP.NET version?

Finally, i see that the php version has Webmail lite V.6 available, is it planned the same for asp.net version? if yes when? (aprox.)

Many thanks for supporting.

When direct mode is used, that means WebMail does not sync messages at all, they are accessed at mail server directly. Of course, we're not speaking of caching files which are viewed by users, but that caching is temporary.

While WebMail Pro supports advanced integration API, the basic feature you're speaking of is available in Lite as well, take a look at this documentation page.

We are planning to release WebMail Lite 6 for ASP.NET, but even the approximate date for that is not determined yet.

Thanks for reply.

I see that webmail can connect to Hmailserver in two ways:
1) Via Interop.hMailServer.dll as described in online documentation.
2) Simply adding a domain in webmail's lite control panel.

Which hof theese would be better? I mean for perfomances, saviving disk space, security and so on ? I know that interoperability may offer more flexibility to users but my question concern mainly security / performances issues.

Thanks

Interop DLL is only used for a couple of special purposes, namely managing autoresponder and changing account password. The rest is done via POP3/IMAP access. So the 1st doesn't replace the 2nd but adds a bit of additional functionality which cannot be handled via POP3/IMAP.
