7 Mar 2008 – Change of Hermes Web Mail software

Our Web Mail (see the menu above) software has been upgraded from PHPost to NOCC.

NOCC provides all facilities and options PHPost has so far been providing, and a few more, including:

1. an address book (contacts) of up to 20 addresses,
2. automatic decoding of message bodies if necessary (some Microsoft mailers encode everything, even plain text of the message body),
3. download of messages and attachments to arbitrary locations on your disk.

The Download function applies to message bodies only, not to their attachments. The latter can be downloaded separately, thus getting them decoded automatically. Then, they can be attached again if needed.

All your current configuration of PHPost (signature, language, etc.), if you have ever set it up, was transfered to NOCC on Friday, Mar 7, 2008, 11am.

13 April 2007 – access to Hermes services from mobile phones

Send and receive mail on your mobile phone. Mail and account checks have become accessible from mobile phones equipped with Internet browsers, see Services > For mob. phones in the menu on the left.

22 September 2006 – end of support for FrontPage Server Extensions

Necessary upgrades to our server software have made it impossible to continue our support for the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). The last version of FPSE for Unix servers was released by Microsoft in 2002, and promptly implemented on ours. Unfortunately it is incompatible with the new, safer and more effective versions of Unix operating systems that undergo continuous improvements in step with new developments in hardware and software.

Our support of FPSE will end on the 1st of December 2006. It means web sites created with FrontPage will have to be uploaded/modified by ftp (file transfer protocol) rather than by fp (frontpage protocol), and features provided by FPSE (e.g. confirmation bot, database connectivity, discussion web, search bot etc.) will no longer work. All such features, and more, can be found in many so-called Content Management Systems. A great majority of the latter are based on PHP and MySQL both of which are supported by our server.
