MDaemon Messaging Server now includes support for Microsoft's ActiveSync, which is a separately licensed over-the-air (OTA) ActiveSync (AirSync) server. ActiveSync provides synchronization of a user's default and shared email, calendar, and contact data between their MDaemon / WorldClient account and an ActiveSync capable device.
Multiple Devices under One Account
Many people commonly have more than one mobile device. With ActiveSync for MDaemon, any user can have multiple devices of any make/model on a single account, making it easy to sync all your MDaemon email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes
Push Email
ActiveSync for MDaemon uses Push email technology that provides an always-on capability, in which new email is actively transferred (pushed) to the device after it is received by the MDaemon mail server.
Public and Shared Folder Access
Supported in MDaemon Pro with ActiveSync. While MDaemon's ActiveSync implementation supports Email, Events, Contacts, Tasks and Notes, not all device clients are capable of handling this data. Public and Shared folder access can be controlled at the user, domain and server levels.
Sessions Window
The ActiveSync Sessions tab in MDaemon's main interface displays activity for all devices or mail clients that are currently connected to MDaemon via ActiveSync, including session ID, connecting IP, domain, account, and device type.
Remote Wipe and Soft Wipe
If a device is lost or stolen, the MDaemon administrator can use the Wipe command to erase all data on the device and restore the device to its factory default state.
ActiveSync Options
ActiveSync Options can be configured for optimal performance for your specific environment. When troubleshooting ActiveSync issues, the log level can be set to "Debug logging" so that more detailed information is written to the ActiveSync log.
Autodiscovery
Autodiscover (or Auto Detect) Service: A user can easily create an account on their mobile device by entering their email and password. They do not need to know their server name to setup the email service.
Multiple Folder Synchronization
ActiveSync bundles all sync requests together instead of doing a sync for each folder separately, so battery life and data won't be consumed constantly and there's far lower message delivery latency.
Global Address Lookup
Global Address List (GAL), also known as Global Address Book, contains contact info and other resources associated with a contact to enable your MDaemon users to look up your other MDaemon users' contact info.

ActiveSync requires WorldClient to use port 80 for non-secure (SSL) HTTP connections, and 443 for SSL/HTTPS connections, for both the built-in webserver or running under a third-party webserver like Microsoft IIS. This is an ActiveSync implementation requirement, so it cannot be changed to a different port.Additional CommentsNote that ActiveSync support requires MDaemon Pro.Related ArticlesKBA-02289 Option for Binding WorldClient to Additional IP Addresses and Ports

MDaemon's support for multiple domains is built around the concepts of a 'default' domain and one or more 'extra' domains. MDaemon maintains local mailbox directories for all accounts within the default and all extra domains. Click SetupClick Domain ManagerClick New DomainIn the New domain name: field, type a secondary domain name (ex: example.com)In the FQDN for this host field, type in the Fully Qualified Domain Name for the extra domain (ex: mail.example.com)In the Domain IPfield, type in the IP address for this domain (ex: 192.0.2.124) Note: If this domain is accepting connecting on the same interface as MDaemon's primary domain, place this IP address in the field. If this domain is accepting connections on a different interface, place that IP address in the field. If this secondary domain must be bound to a specific IP address, check the Bind listening sockets to this IP option (typically not necessary)Select Enable AntiVirus if you want SecurityPlus for MDaemon to scan messages for this domainSelect Enable AntiSpam if you want MDaemon's spam filter to scan messages for this domainIf you have any more domains to add, repeat steps 3-8Click OK
