You can find information about the latest version of email2 here. Previous releases are listed below.

November 14, 2008: 1.6.2172 Service Pack: 1395

The email2 PEN Server Console now allows administrative users to create and manage email2 Virtual PEN Servers and the created PENs. Creating an email2 Virtual PEN Server creates a unique database for all the PENs within, which can easily be exported in order to move the PEN to a new physical location (new server).
Improvements have been made to PEN "Trial Mode." During this time the content of the PEN is not encrypted and it doesn't have any certification. A PEN in Trial Mode is only available for a limited amount of time, after which the PEN may stop working.
The email2 SaaS SMTP Notifications system has been improved. This is the default option available when creating a new email2 Virtual PEN Server. When an email2 Virtual PEN Server uses the email2 SaaS SMTP Notifications, the basic email notifications sent out by the system are delivered via email2 Servers, instead of the PEN's server. This notification system supports a reliable delivery mechanism of SMTP notifications via a well known and unique email domain. This minimizes the chances of email2 notifications being flagged as SPAM messages. In cases where messages are still flagged as SPAM, using this central notification system allows email2 to resolve SPAM/Blacklist issues more easily.

An improved version of the email2 Certificate Authority Services has been deployed with a new version 2.0 of the API providing a broader range of services to the email2 client applications, (the email2 Toolbar, Web Client Interface, and email2 PEN Server, etc.).

Moved provisioning functionality off the Admin Console to the new version of the Virutal PEN Server Console. Now Creating a new PEN is available only from the new Virtual PEN Server Console.
Improved the Dashboard section of the Admin Console with more relevant metrics available in the report.
Member statuses can now be set to Enabled or Disabled directly from the Admin Console.
Aliases are now properly displayed in the Dashboard's list of members. Clicking on an Alias will open the corresponding Master account instead.
Aliases can now be promoted to Master Accounts directly from the Admin Console.
Virtual PEN Server admins can now manage package options.
SMTP settings are now limited per Virtual PEN Server.
All automated email2 Notifcation messages can now have custom Subject lines.

Typos, grammar and clarity in the Account section.
Various experience improvements of Safari and Chrome users.
Fixed various unexpected display issues in Member Name fields.
Fixed an issue where clicking on the email2 link on a notification on a mobile device didn't display that message.

Improved support for multiple accounts in Outlook for users that do not have administrative rights.
Fixed an issue with multiple Outlook accounts that was causing recipients to occasionally not receive messages using the Toolbar.
Improved support for "Check for Updates" option.
The installation package for the Toolbar and its prerequisites has been resigned, so that Firefox can now launch the ClickOnce installer.
When installing the Toolbar for Outlook under Microsoft Vista, the installation file requires that User Access Control (UAC) must be turned ON before starting the installation.

Recalling a message now resets all tracking sessions for that message. (i.e., Tracking will refresh for users repeatedly pinging it). This improves the overall performance of the system.
