WorldClient 15.5 introduces a number of new features and options:
WorldClient Improvements
| • | The LookOut theme's icons and colors have been modernized, and some adjustments were made to its layout. There is also a new Gray color style. The "New" button was moved to where the user's email address was previously located, and the email address is now in the top navigation bar. The Help and Sign Out options were moved to a drop-down list beneath user's address, like in the WorldClient theme. Finally, the Options icon was moved to the far right in the navigation bar. |
| • | WorldClient now supports adding inline images to a user's signature. |
| • | Merged Categories and Labels into just Categories. You can now add, edit, and delete categories from a predefined list based on the old labels and categories. Each category has a color associated with it. More than one category can be associated with a given color, but only one category with a specific name may exist. There are 26 colors to choose from (including white) which match Outlook category color options. If an event, task, note, or contact already has categories associated with it, but they don't match the predefined categories, their colors will be white until you add them to the predefined list of categories. If there is already a label associated with an event, you can choose to remove the label and add a category, or leave the label. Old labels are not lost on upgrade. |
| • | WorldClient and LookOut themes - Desktop notifications are now available. When LookOut or WorldClient loads, the browser will prompt you on whether or not to allow desktop notifications. If you choose to allow them, then you will receive notifications of new email messages, new instant messages (in the case that the corresponding chat is not in focus), and any change in status of a chat buddy. Desktop notifications are not supported by Internet Explorer. |
| • | WorldClient and LookOut themes - Added ability to view pdf files in the browser (not supported in IE8). This is available in any document folder and any message that has a pdf file. |
| • | There is now a Password Recovery feature. When this feature is enabled, if you have permission to edit your password then you will be able to enter an alternate email address in WorldClient, which can be sent a link to reset your password if you forget it. To set up this feature, you must enter both the password recovery email address and their current password on the Options » Personalize page. Once set, if you attempt to log in to WorldClient with an incorrect password a "forgot password?" link will appear. This link takes you to a page that asks you to confirm your password recovery email address. If entered correctly, an email will be sent with a link to a change password page. |
| • | LookOut and WorldClient themes - added buttons and context menu items for you to create a new event, task, or note from the contents of a message. |
| • | Lite, LookOut, and WorldClient themes now attempt to detect and use the language currently being used by the browser. |
| • | LookOut and WorldClient themes - you can now use the browser's back and forward buttons to navigate in the main window |
| • | WorldClient theme - added a "Today" button to the calendar view buttons. |
| • | LookOut and WorldClient themes - you can now sort by the Description, Location, Start, and End columns in the Calendar List view |
| • | Lite, LookOut, and WorldClient themes - Added <ROOT> as top most option when creating or editing a folder. |
| • | LookOut and WorldClient themes - added button to send a message to all attendees of a meeting in the event editor. |
| • | Lite theme - a Mark Unread/Read option is now available in the Message view. Clicking it will mark the message unread and take you back to the List view. |
| • | Lite, LookOut, and WorldClient themes - you can now print the details of a single event. |
| • | LookOut and WorldClient themes - there is now a "custom intro" feature in the compose window for Virtru encrypted messages |
New in WorldClient 15.0
End-to-end Email and Attachment Encryption
The WorldClient theme is now equipped with support for end-to-end email and attachment encryption through Virtru. To enable this feature, in the WorldClient theme go the the Options » Compose page and click Enable Virtru. This causes a button to appear on the Compose page that you can click to encrypt your email before sending. This is an easy-to-use feature that doesn't require you to remember or save any special passwords or keys. Recipients who use a Virtru-enabled client, such as the WorldClient theme or one of Virtru's other client plugins, can open and read the encrypted messages normally, without any additional steps. Recipients without a Virtru-enabled client will see a link to view the message in a special browser-based reader.
For more information, see: Email Encryption.
|
You cannot enable or use Virtru unless you are using a secure browser connection. If you see a message next to the Enable Virtru option that says, "Virtru requires HTTPS," then try connecting to WorldClient in your browser using "https://" in the URL rather than "http://".

Contacts Improvements
LookOut Theme
| • | Improved distribution list editor. |
| • | Under Options » Personalize » Contacts, you can now adjust the length of time you must hover the pointer over a contact in the Contact List before the Contact Info Preview will appear. You can also disable the Contact Info Preview. |
Other Themes
| • | Added the ability to print individual contacts in Lite, LookOut, and WorldClient themes. |
Other WorldClient Changes
| • | RPost is now disabled by default. If you no longer see this option under Options » Compose, contact your email administrator to see if it is still available. |
| • | When editing a Note or Task in the WorldClient theme, you can now click a button on the editor's toolbar to open the item in a new window. |
New in WorldClient 14.5
WorldClient Improvements
| • | There is a new List calendar view in the LookOut and WorldClient themes, which shows events in a list format. |
| • | In the WorldClient and LookOut themes, you can now drag-and-drop files from a Documents folder to your computer. However, this feature is only available when using the Google Chrome browser. Other browsers will either do nothing or create a shortcut to the desktop. |
| • | When you are composing an email in the WorldClient or LookOut theme and you click the "Attach" button, you can now attach documents that are already online in your WorldClient Documents folder. |
| • | There is now a Save Source option in the Message View (and Message Listing in some themes) so that you can easily download a copy of a selected message to your computer or device. The message is saved as a .eml file and will contain the message's contents and all of its headers; even those headers that are ordinarily hidden. |
| • | When using the Advanced Search feature to search the Message Listing in LookOut or WorldClient, it is now possible to save searches to be used again later. |
| • | When a message has an attachment and you click Print in the Message View, by default you are asked if you wish to print the attachment as well. Options » Personalize has a new option that you can use to change this behavior if you wish to always or never print the attachments instead of being asked. |
| • | WorldClient supports sending secure/private encrypted messages via RPost. If you have an RPost account and wish to use this feature, you can enable it on the Options » Compose page. |
| • | WorldClient now supports Contact pictures. You can upload a picture to use for each of your contacts. |
| • | In the LookOut theme there is now a checkbox next to each file in the Documents folder, to make it easier to select files. |
| • | Options » Calendar now has default reminder and default event length options that will be used when creating new calendar events. You can set the reminder option to "No reminder" or to a specific time value. The default event length option can be set from 15 minutes to 2 hours. If you typically, for example, set new appointments to be 1 hour long and remind you 15-minute before the Start time, these options can be used to set those value automatically for all new appointments. When creating an appointment, you can always change the Reminder and End time settings to different values if you do not wish to use the default values. |
WorldClient Theme Only
| • | The various Settings pages under Options have been updated to better match the simplicity of the WorldClient theme. There is also a Return to Inbox button in order to leave these pages. |
| • | The Filters page has been redesigned to present the list of filters in a more natural language format. To improve performance, Filters are also now created and edited on a separate pop-up page. |
| • | On the Folders page, new folders are now created on a separate pop-up page. |
New in WorldClient 14.0
ComAgent Renamed (14.0.1)
The ComAgent desktop application has been renamed to WorldClient Instant Messenger.
WorldClient Theme
In response to customer requests for a new browser-based email client, WorldClient has a new signature theme called WorldClient. It is designed to have a clear, modern interface, maintaining a good balance between simplicity-of-use and breadth of features, incorporating numerous design elements from popular consumer and business browser-based email clients. Although it doesn't have every feature that is available in the LookOut theme, it is equipped with an extensive and carefully selected set that should serve most users well. The WorldClient theme requires at least Internet Explorer 9 or the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.
Side-by-Side Calendars
LookOut and the WorldClient theme have a new side-by-side calendar view. This makes it possible for you to view multiple calendars side by side.
New Compose Options
| • | The Compose page's HTML compose editor has been updated to a newer version that is compatible with Internet Explorer 11. |
| • | You can now insert inline images into messages by using the new HTML tools on the Compose page. |
| • | The English and English-UK spell check dictionaries have been updated. |
Simple Theme Renamed
