Also, you may "Switch to the Standard WebMail" in the desktop login page for a pure-HTML version of our WebMail that would give legacy clients (read IE -9) a taste of what web-based email could be if they upgrade to 2016's Chrome/Firefox/IE ;).
What no Edge support?
Actually... It is fully supported. See here in the Supported Web Browsers section at the end of the page.
I was simply poking fun - Edge is still a pretty hard browser to use full time, i.e. I rarely use it.

Well
Axigen is prepared for the moment when Edge will be a bliss to use... When(if)ever that moment will come... -

An in that vein, does it integrate into Azure AD?

This would be awfully nice to see.
-
Active Directory and OpenLDAP are listed as supported. They appear to require an extra plugin.

We think it is easy.
You can use an OpenLDAP or ActiveDirectory.
OpenLDAP / Active Directory integration can be used for (all or some)
- Accounts & groups synchronization
- LDAP authentication
- LDAP based routing
See more here.
In a multi node configuration, Axigen can also make use of an internal distributed user database for routing and authentication. More details here. This is especially useful for @Service-Providers that require horizontal scalability and do not need the integration with an external user database.

Only integration with AD requires an extra plugin.

We do not support integration with Azure AD but we do support integration with your on-premise AD (2008 and 2012).

Many of us have moved or are thinking of moving to Azure AD, it is a major thing in the SMB space.

Noted. I'll push this to Product Management. By the way, let me introduce our Product Community, managed by our Product Manager. This is where we stay in touch with users of our product that would like to request features.

By the way, did anybody notice the Gravatar integration in our WebMail? If you are receiving an email from an email address that is registered with Gravatar, you will see in the message pane the thumbnail of the sender.

I did notice that, yes

That's interesting - but how many people actually want that?
When my boss saw that you could integrate Facebook into Outlook, she was none to happy. I see all of this social integration as a West Coast thing, but the rest of the country doesn't really want/care about it from a business point of view.

I do. It's just a single picture, not really that big of a deal....

I think it is a global thing and a gap in business thinking for some old school businesses in less progressive markets. Business is social and most of the world knows that. Facebook is very different than Gravatar. Do I want FB in my email, no, but Gravatar, yes. It's a universal email-based visual identity system. It helps make you more efficient and personalises a system that is often seen as impersonal. The same reason that avatars are critical in an online forum, they matter in email the same way. They make recognition and connection faster and stronger.

She was unhappy that you COULD integrate it? That's an odd reaction. That sounds like someone who is mad at Facebook and upset that other people enjoy it. Like hating it when you see kids having fun at the park. No one is making you use the park or have kids, but some people are just unhappy that other people are happy with things or like different things than them.

I agree that icons are important in making fast recognition, heck there was a mixup here on ML a week or so ago because of the generic Gravatar icon that two or more people were using in a thread.
Which leads me to the - so many people don't leave their avatars the same. Sure many ML'ers do - You, Scott does, I do and several others - but just look at Facebook, people are constantly changing their avatars, making them that much less reliable. Also, it makes stealing someone's identity pretty easy, at least for a very short amount of time.Going back to that thread I mentioned... If I borrowed your avatar, I could have posted things and the reader would have assumed it was you posting them because they didn't read the name, instead they only looked at the picture.
So sure, it's not perfect, but I do see that there is some, albeit limited, value.

Well my boss hates facebook because her employees waste time on FB instead of doing their job.
