Topic: MailSpaces

Today we did a major update to MailSpaces. Here's the main changes for both users and administrators of spaces.

Orange has announced the closure of its SmartGroups service. You could go to Yahoo, or Google, or Microsoft. Or you could come to MailSpaces - Discussion, wiki, feeds all tied together with automatic tagging and natural language tools.

Circulation will be up by at least 10, if only due to the number...

Many thanks to Web User, who have run a "How to" article on setting up your own on-line community using MailSpaces. And an even beigger thank you for featuring it on the front page! Go out and buy a copy now...

I spent a pleasant afternoon yesterday playing with the look and feel of one of our spaces – I could have been a lot more drastic (including losing the whole right hand side), but was physically restained by Pete, in case Steve attacked me when he saw what I had done. Anyhow, the results of my efforts can be found here (which in itself is part of a campaign to get NCT (ante-natal) groups to use MailSpaces).

I’m delighted to report that as a direct result of the use of MailSpaces to centralize e-mail and create an automatic portal, a planning application for a mobile phone mast near...

There is some concern out there that MailSpaces consists only of me and another e-mail address which purports to be someone called Stephen.

The first version of the transfer tool can be found here
