Remember we have mentioned AtMail 5 long time ago. Recently, they have launched a new version of Atmail as a complete Webmail, Mail-server and CalDAV server for ISPs/Webhosting providers and Small-business. AtMail 6 is a Linux based Webmail Client + Email solution which brings your organizations email under control.
AtMail 6 has been completely rebuilt from the ground up using Zend, jQuery, a true Web2.0 interface, Gmail email threading, inline attachment thumbnails, full IMAP/S support, CalDAV client/server – The aim is to provide users an alternative to Gmail or Exchange running on your own networks. It’s faster, lighter and more logical. The new version of AtMail really impressed me. It is very powerful and easy to use. The new user interface is absolutely stunning.
They do offer a Free 5-user license of AtMail for us to download and install as well. This license includes all the features available in the commercial Atmail version.
P.S. If you love AtMail, you might consider purchasing premium licenses. AtMail is very kind to offer us 20% discount off for any purchase.

One of the CSS3 properties designers have been longing the most for is undoubtedly the border-radius property. With CSS3 border-radius property it’s possible to create the so popular rectangles with rounded corners exclusively via CSS – no images needed.
CSS3 aren’t supported by all browsers yet. The border-radius property is supported by Firefox (since version 3.0), Safari (since version 3.1) and Chrome (since the first version), but it’s not supported by Internet Explorer or Opera (it should be implemented in Opera 10).
Although Firefox, Safari and Chrome support this property, they do so in slightly different modalities. For the sake of simplicity, BloggingCSS shows you how it is supported by Firefox and then explain the differences in Safari and Chrome.
Requirements: Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.1+, Chrome 1.0+
