Harbinger Beta Available for Public Testing

A beta of the latest version of our webmail client is available to any current Webmail.us customer. Simply log in with your email address and password at http://beta.webmail.us.

You will notice only a few minor interface changes as our primary focus for this version is speed and performance. We no longer use frames and we make heavy use of AJAX and caching to improve speed. The first time you log in to the application will take a bit longer than normal because the browser is busy downloading JavaScript code that will be cached for future sessions.

Switching between folders, calendar, contacts, and tasks is significantly faster than previous versions of our application. We believe that a web based email client has significant advantages over a desktop based client but only if the web based client can match the speed and performance of the desktop client.

I've been using Harbinger for a few months now and have been really impressed with the speed thus far. We believe this is only the tip of the iceberg though and will continue to push the limits of the browser to maximize the speed of every aspect of the application.
