Say Hello to a Smarter Inbox: Announcing Integrated Chat and Video Calls

We know that switching between your email, a chat app, and a video conferencing tool can break your focus and slow you down. That’s why we’re excited to announce our latest update: secure, one-on-one chat and video calls are now integrated directly into the PolarisMail Webmail!

This new feature is designed to keep your workflow all in one place, making collaboration faster, easier, and more secure than ever.

What’s New in Your Webmail?

Starting today, you’ll find two powerful new tools waiting for you when you log in:

1. Instant Chat, Right in Your Inbox

You can now start a secure, one-on-one chat without leaving your email interface. It’s perfect for quick questions and real-time collaboration. Key features include:

• End-to-end encryption for private conversations.
• The ability to correct or retract messages and share files.
• Support for connecting third-party desktop or mobile clients that use the XMPP protocol, like Thunderbird or eM Client.

2. Seamless HD Video Meetings

Go from an email to a face-to-face meeting in a single click. Our integrated video calls are simple to use but packed with professional features:

• HD video and audio with screen sharing capabilities.
• Enhanced security controls, including password protection and a “lobby” to approve participants before they join.
• The option to record your meetings for later reference (if enabled).

How to Get Started

The best part? This feature is now live and available for all customers with Basic and Enhanced mailboxes. There’s nothing you need to enable on your account to start using it within Webmail.

Need Group Chat and Threaded Conversations?

For teams that need more advanced collaboration tools, our Enhanced plan includes a powerful Zulip integration. This adds organized group chats, threaded conversations, and dedicated channels to keep complex projects on track.

We are thrilled to bring this new functionality to your PolarisMail experience and are committed to continuing to add value to our services. We hope these tools help you and your teams stay connected and productive.
