SmarterMail Add-ons
SmarterTools' add-on licensing system allows users to enhance the functionality
of SmarterTools products. The following add-ons are available for SmarterMail:
- Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- Exchange Web Services
- Commtouch Premium Antispam
- Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync is a data synchronization protocol that enables over-the-air
access to email, calendars, tasks and notes from most mobile devices, including
Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone devices. In addition, Exchange ActiveSync
enables SmarterMail users to have access their email, calendars, tasks, and notes
while working offline.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate and enable the Exchange ActiveSync
add-on, please refer to the KB articles How To Activate Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and How To Configure Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for Email Accounts.
Exchange Web Services
Exchange Web Services (EWS) is a newer data synchronization protocol that seamlessly
syncs SmarterMail messages, contacts, calendars and tasks to third-party email clients
for Apple products, specifically Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac and Apple Mail.
Exchange Web Services will eventually replace the outdated MAPI protocol, as EWS
allows for faster communication between an email client and the mail server.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate the EWS add-on, please refer to
the KB article How To Activate Exchange Web Services
Commtouch Premium Antispam
The Commtouch Premium Antispam add-on uses Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technology to protect
against spam outbreaks in real time as messages are mass-distributed over the Internet.
Rather than evaluating the content of messages, the Commtouch Detection Center analyzes
large volumes of Internet traffic in real time, recognizing and protecting against
new spam outbreaks the moment they emerge.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate and enable the Commtouch add-on,
please refer to the KB articles How To Activate Commtouch Premium Antispam and How To Enable Commtouch Premium Antispam.
Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus
The Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on identifies viruses based on their unique
distribution patterns and provides a complementary shield to conventional AV technology,
protecting in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks and continuing protection
as each new variant emerges.
For step-by-step instructions on how to activate and enable the Commtouch add-on,
please refer to the KB articles How To Activate Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus and How To Enable Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus.
