In addition, eDirectory replicates changes as they occur, so you never have to worry about backing up or losing your data. Because NIMS 2.1 supports the major Internet standards, it is widely interoperable with other e-mail clients that support the same standards. Providing seamless communication, NIMS eliminates the need for gateways and reduces file translation errors, all without degrading system performance. NIMS requires neither a special client nor frames support, while many other mail clients require proprietary software and tie users to a single computer. Because NIMS supports IMAP4, users also have the convenience of accessing and customizing their mailboxes remotely.
Users can also create, rename, and organize folders to accommodate their personal preferences.
Use Enhanced Administrative Features to Control Mailbox Growth NIMS 2.1 contains improved administrative features that you can use to control potentially explosive growth as users take advantage of the new messaging system. By establishing message quotas, you can limit users to a fixed mailbox size. You can also prevent potential looping by prohibiting the forwarding of messages retrieved by the Proxy agent. Other administrative options include restricting user configurable items in Preferences, logging all spam attempts, and configuring a maximum number of allowed recipients for outgoing messages. Protect Your System with SSL 3.0 Security NIMS incorporates SSL 3.0, which enables you to communicate securely, using the latest encryption and authentication techniques.
