The table below shows a comparison of some of the features between the old and new Webmail interface:
| Old Webmail Problems |
New Webmail |
| Login failed when there are too many users on the system. |
No login limits are being imposed due to improvements in the system. |
| Login time-out is too fast. Often have to re-login after writing longer emails. |
No idle or session time-outs for the new Webmail. |
| Emails are missing usually when I just close the browser window rather than using the logout button. |
You can log out or just close the browser. It won't affect your next login at all like it has in the past. |
| Address book is confusing and not easy to use. There is no easy way to create mailing lists. |
A much improved address book interface. Mailing lists can be created as lists of addresses under one nickname. |
| The folder system is not easy to use |
Easy-to-use Webmail folder interface that is much more like other e-mail programs such as Thunderbird. |
| Sometimes the items in my "sent" folder disappear after only a couple of days. |
There are no time or space limits on the "Sent" folder any different than other folders. |
| I haven't seen a "Rules" feature to automatically route the e-mails to a certain folder. |
Full featured filtering is available to put messages into folders based on subject or destination. |
