All references to Microsoft 365 interchangeably apply to the Office 365 Enterprise plans and other plans that kept Office 365 in their name.
  • Note This release fully removes the support for establishing unencrypted connections to MailStore Server. This also includes the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect option, which must be considered insecure without the use of properly configured HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
  • Note Mobile Web Access has been fully removed in this release. Many improvements and bug fixes applied to the responsive Web Access in this release make it a suitable, modern, and secure replacement on all supported mobile devices, including support of authenticating users directly against Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite.
  • Note To manage connections to remote SMB/CIFS network shares, the Service Configuration tool now provides built-in functionality as an easier and more secure alternative to the startup script method available in previous versions. It is highly recommended to replace existing "net use" commands in the startup script with the new built-in functionality. A corresponding warning will appear on the administrator's dashboard as long as "net use" commands are found in the startup script file. Please note that the Startup Script section in the Service Configuration tool is only visible if the startup script file actually exists.
  • Note Microsoft has announced the removal of HTTP Basic Auth for Exchange Web Services (EWS) in Microsoft 365. As MailStore's traditional Microsoft Exchange profiles support EWS with Basic Auth only, a new dedicated Microsoft 365 profile with support for modern OAuth authentication and a new Directory Service with support for authenticating users via OpenID Connect have been added. Customers of Microsoft 365 are advised to regularly check for Microsoft's announcement on the timeline for removing HTTP Basic Auth, and should plan the migration to the new profiles in advance. Please note that IMAP access to the archive is no longer supported when using a directory service which authenticates users via OpenID Connect.
  • Note Google has announced the removal of basic authentication types for IMAP in G Suite. IMAP is used in MailStore when authenticating users against G Suite. The existing direcory service settings for G Suite have therefore been extended to support the modern OpenID Connect authentication method. Customers of G Suite are advised to regularly check for Google's announcement on the timeline for removing basic authentication, and should plan the migration to the new setting in advance. Please note that IMAP access to the archive is no longer supported when using a directory service which authenticates users via OpenID Connect.
  • New Dedicated Microsoft 365 profiles for archiving and exporting emails using modern OAuth authentication as required by Microsoft. Please note that for technical and organizational reasons, these profiles are only available to MailStore administrators.
  • New Directory Services: New profile for Microsoft 365 using modern OAuth authentication, to synchronize users via Microsoft Graph API and to enable synchronized users to authenticate directly with Microsoft using OpenID Connect.
  • New Directory Services: Added OpenID Connect as authentication method to G Suite profile, which allows synchronized users to authenticate directly with G Suite.
