en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russia's RuPost (a subsidiary of the Astra Group) has released version 2.2.0 of its digital work platform Desktop X, the latest update to its cross-platform desktop email client. This release comes approximately six months after version 2.0, during which RuPost issued several updates, consolidating cumulative improvements into a meaningful upgrade with version 2.2.0.
The most notable feature of the new version is the "My Day" (Мой день) sidebar. This panel displays immediate to-do items, upcoming meetings, and events for the coming days, allowing users to view them without switching to a separate calendar window. With its "at-a-glance" to-do presentation logic, Desktop X aligns with the development direction of mainstream desktop clients, lowering the barrier for employees migrating from other platforms and leveraging mature industry practices in user experience.
The email, event, and signature editors have been redesigned, with a focus on improving speed and stability when handling large, complexly formatted emails. Enhancements include better insertion of inline images and an improved table toolset, enabling users to create, format, and paste tables directly from the clipboard into the email body without needing an external editor.
The client can receive instant push notifications for new emails via the DXNS (Desktop X Notification Service), which is launched alongside the WorksPad 7.0 server. For users, this provides the immediacy common in consumer applications; for enterprises, notifications are delivered within the customer's infrastructure without relying on external cloud services. Receiving notifications instantly without exposing the network achieves a balance between convenience and control, a clear requirement for enterprise customers.
This version focuses on handling large volumes of email, optimizing processing efficiency for mailboxes containing tens of thousands of messages, and improving fast scrolling, as well as synchronization and list processing on low-spec computers. Additionally, it includes over 200 improvements and fixes, covering better sorting, multi-select, EML format saving, and more. Recipient suggestions are now sorted by source priority, from contacts in email correspondence to the corporate directory.
Desktop X 2.2.0 runs on Astra Linux, other domestic Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows, and is compatible with numerous Russian email servers, including the primarily associated RuPost, as well as Exchange, thereby supporting a smooth migration to Russian email solutions in a coexistence mode without replacing end-user clients. Architecturally, the client remains part of a client-server platform: enterprise resources (including email) are accessed via a unified access server, which hides the organization's email and calendar services within a protected security boundary. There is no need to expose IMAP, CalDAV, or build complex VPN configurations; both the client and DXNS service remain within the customer's boundary, consistent with the same single, controllable access point logic used in building the mobile solution WorksPad.
Sergey Makaryin, Development Director at RuPost, stated that most recent enterprise customer requirements not only involve feature lists but also explicitly prioritize the client's speed and stability on mailboxes with tens of thousands of emails—this is the real load of large organizations that determines whether the product can be deployed. Therefore, in version 2.2.0, RuPost has simultaneously developed the client functionally and made efforts on the performance of oversized mailboxes, as well as numerous small but important user scenarios.
