This release resolves issues in the Email Appliance.

You should also familiarize yourself with the known issues, since improper configuration of certain options may cause unexpected behavior.

Before you begin installing and configuring the Email Appliance, you should review the configuration directions.

Internet Explorer 7 and later, and Mozilla Firefox version 4.x and later, are the only supported browsers for this product release. However, the Email Appliance has been optimized for current-generation browsers.
