WorkgroupMail is a commercial mail server developed by Softalk Ltd, designed for the Microsoft Windows operating system. WorkgroupMail was originally based on the Workgroup Internet Gateway MAPI transport provider, that provided users of Exchange Client (the predecessor of Microsoft Outlook) with centralised SMTP/POP3 connectivity.
It originally used Microsoft JET database as its back end, before moving to a file-based approach. With the release of version 8, WorkgroupMail was modified to use a database back end once again, but this time was able to use either JET, Microsoft SQL Express or Microsoft SQL Server as its database engine.
Bitdefender is used as the anti-virus engine and it uses Softalk Ltd's own proprietary anti-spam solution for virus protecting email. Softalk Organizer is used as the method for accessing email over a browser.
