New Version of Roundcube Webmail Deployed

UMIACS users using IMAP have a new version of Webmail available to them. The look-and-feel has been improved from the previous version, but all of your settings have been carried over. New features include a preview pane and the ability to group mail filters together.

We have recently deployed Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit to all of our supported Windows hosts to help prevent successful exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Microsoft and third party softwares.
