German MailStore Software Launches V.13 of MailStore Server and Service Provider Edition

MailStore Software GmbH is releasing V.13 of its archiving products.

In particular users of MailStore Server and the MailStore Service Provider Edition (SPE) stand to benefit from enhanced interaction with the cloud services Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite. What’s more, with its support of OAuth2 and Open ID Connect, V.13 marks the arrival of modern authentication standards in the company’s products. And, as with every major release, the German email specialists have introduced improvements in the areas of security and user experience.

Better support of cloud services, plus modern authentication standards
MailStore Server and the MailStore Service Provider Edition (SPE) support OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, which makes integrating the MailStore archiving products in the public cloud services Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite even easier. IT administrators and users alike benefit from standardized login policies: so, settings used for Microsoft 365 or Google G Suite tenants can also be used for the software Server or the MailStore SPE, including e.g. multi-factor authentication. The new 2-step login process emulates the login routines of modern web applications, and MailStore no longer has to process the passwords of remote users during authentication. In addition, the dedicated Microsoft 365 archiving and export profiles make it easier for IT administrators to configure profiles. Here too, the support of modern Oauth2 authentication improves security and also integration with Microsoft 365.

“V.13 sees MailStore resolutely pursuing its goals of seamless product interaction with key on-premises and cloud email services, support of modern technologies, and first-class security with no increase in complexity,” says Philip Weber, MD.

He goes on to explain the context with regard to Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite, the cloud-based email services: “Particularly in these challenging times, the release of V.13 is especially important for us all here at MailStore. The implementation of modern authentication technology vis-à-vis Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite is fundamentally important for our customers and partners, as both Microsoft and Google have defined this as a mandatory requirement going forward.“

Improvements for added security and improved user experience

• In V.13, the support of unencrypted connections to MailStore Server has been removed. So administrators can rest assured that all MailStore installations permit only encrypted connections with the archive.

• Users of MailStore products benefit from a marked improvement in the performance of the integrated Web Access, which allows users to access their personal email archives from any device and any platform.

• Both MailStore Server and the MailStore Service Provider Edition (SPE) have been inspected by an independent IT auditor and certified as compliant with IDW PS 880 (audit standard of the German Institute of Auditors) and the personal data processing requirements of the EU’s GDPR.
