Regarding the preview of messages for spamming review. You
can use the preview option of version 3.0. You can preview every message without
opening it. First time the page is heavy to load but it saves a lot of time.
There are two preview options, small and large preview.

Kevin,
I don't believe they introduced this, though they
closed many gaps that they had in IMail equivalent functionality in this
release, and changed a few other things that concerned me. For instance,
they introduced sub-mailbox functionality, and they also gave us the ability
to turn off autoresponders and catch-all's.
My greatest concerns about
SmarterMail's Web interface are these three things:
1) Virtually no control of content outside of skinning, so you
can't tweak things that they don't expressly allow you to tweak (such as
removing a link to a piece of functionality).
2) Webmail uses a
separate page for viewing a message list and viewing a message, so you have
to click back and forth, and this is completely impractical for doing any
form of spam review. It doesn't matter that much for occasional
end-use, but it is certainly not lingua franca for Webmail
clients.
3) Integration of SmarterMail spam blocking functionality in
the interface can be confusing to end users if you handle spam outside of
that system. I'm not sure if Declude has a tie in to that
functionality, but I'm guessing not at this moment.
...and
also one big non-interface thing that also concerns me a great deal:
4) Proprietary mailbox format, which makes them pretty much
uneditable (or at least I can't figure out how to do it without a hex
editor). I really wish they would abandon this and go to simple text
files.
I host E-mail on SmarterMail, and I am generally happy
with that, but I won't move my Declude setup there until they change these
things because my hands are tied by the needs of my system. Program
aliases are real nice to have, but I'm not currently tied down by that
need.
There are plenty of good points, so don't let me make it sound
bad. They have things like archiving of E-mail for SOX compliance,
shared calendaring, Outlook integration with calendaring, tasks, content
filtering, great performance and stability, and a nicer interface than IMail
8.x- (but I prefer IMail's wide flexibility in the new Webmail a great, great
deal more, but that isn't a universal need). Naturally, people should do
due-diligence before upgrading or migrating, especially on a brand new major
release.

Does anyone know if SmarterMail has Program aliases. I have checked the docs
and am going back and forth with SmarterTools sales, but not to be found.
It is the only missing feature I would need to move away from Imail.
So now here is my declude question.
Could I use smartermail/declude, with an external test, to identify a
message form a specific account then process and move the message/delete a
message to where I would like. What would happen when declude gets control
back and the message no longer exists?
We currently use program aliases to process EDI orders from customers.
