It’s been two very busy months here at Zenbe since our launch. Thank you very much for all your feedback and comments. We really appreciate all of you helping us improve Zenbe during our early beta test.

Today we’re releasing a new version of Zenbe with some major new features and many bug fixes. Some of the improvements are behind the scene that increases our security, performance and scalability. Some are new features you’ve been asking for from us. Here are some of the highlights of the new release.

New Features

• Gtalk support in Quick View
• Twitter support in Quick View
• Networks - group your contacts into networks for easily emailing multiple contacts and inviting them to zenpages.
• Calendar support for webcal:// and https:// calendar links when importing
• WebMailNotifier script for Firefox plugin: http://blog.zenbe.com/2008/06/20/webmail-notifier-meet-zenbe/

UI improvements

• A new email sidebar - featuring an easy UI to pin active tags to the top, as well as an improved Unviewed flag behind the unread counter to show new emails
• Empty trash - the ability to permanently delete items in your ‘Deleted’ and ‘Spam’ tags
• Task list
  • Redesigned Task lists featuring better performance and the ability to rename lists
  • Separated calendars and task lists in ZenPages
  • The ability to add multiple task lists on a zenpage
• Easily delete contacts that Zenbe auto-added for you
• Ability to rename tags

Bug Fixes

• Improved inbox and tag count accuracy and responsiveness
• Better accuracy for recurring events on subscribed calendars

There are a lot more changes and bug fixes than what I can list here. I hope you like what we’ve been doing. We are also actively working on an IMAP interface to Zenbe, and a conversation view of your emails similar to gmail. Those features will be coming in a future release. Stay tuned.

Thank you again for all your support. Enjoy the new release.

Cheers,

The Zenbe Team
