Is there a way to force a spell check on users when they press send in webmail? Coming from OWA has caused some humerous yet unfortionate mistakes on the parts of our users.

No, there is no such option in KC.

The upcoming version 8 has a commpletely revamped WebMail. You can check if it is available there. I haven't had the time to test KC8 RC yet.

Thanks. The webmail client is almost good enough and just missing a few features; the complete redesign, while many will be excited, is scary to me because the webmail, even with missing a few features like spell check on send, is much better then any competing product sans Exchange. I hate to see a major change really mess it up.

The old webmail client will be kept in KC8 but I guess it will die in later versions.

Spellchecker for email body in composer window is not yet implemented in new Kerio Connect client. It is planned to be added later along with many interesting new features. We are evaluating a "nicer" way how to do spell-checking other than the old way used in current WebMail client.

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life, but we are about to migrate from V8 to V9 and were reviewing the new Kerio Connect Client. We have a few users who still use 'old webmail' in V8 and the built in spellcheck is a heavily used option for them. The built in spellcheck of Old Webmail is much better than what is available directly in the browser, depending on the browser. It's almost a requirement, and may give us a delay in migrating to V9 based on user feedback.

I've been playing with the Kerio Connect Client demo (http://demo.kerio.com/en/) and don't see spellcheck in there. It would be a shame to force them into relying on a browser's spellcheck as they are not entirely reliable. Are there any updates to this issue?

(look, even in the forum here is a "Spell-check Message" button right next to the Submit Reply button!)

Thanks,
-Derek
