We're pleased to announce the release of EPIM 26.5, a major update that introduces powerful new capabilities for Notes, important Mail enhancements, improved Calendar functionality, and greater flexibility throughout the application.
This release focuses on making information easier to organize, access, and act upon, while continuing to improve EPIM's overall performance, reliability, and user experience.
Below are the highlights of what's new in EPIM 26.5.
Notes Become More Actionable and Accessible
EPIM 26.5 delivers the most significant Notes improvements in recent releases.
The standout addition is the ability to set reminders for Notes, allowing important information to generate timely reminders just like other EPIM items. Whether you're tracking ideas, project milestones, or personal information, your notes can now actively help you stay on top of what matters.
We've also introduced the Notes module on the Sidebar, making your notes accessible from anywhere in EPIM without switching modules. This provides a much faster way to capture, review, and reference information while working throughout the application.
Markdown users will appreciate the ability to drag and drop Markdown (*.md) files directly into Notes, while advanced users can now include note leaf names in Search and Find & Replace operations. Working with note leaves is also faster thanks to support for standard date and time insertion shortcuts.
Additional Notes enhancements include:
- Improved font selection in Notes
- New "Recent Fonts" section for quick access
- You can now use the Insert Anchor button without having to activate a note first
- Better emoji display
Password Management Available Out of the Box
Another welcome addition in EPIM 26.5 is the return of the Passwords module for new installations.
No additional configuration or manual changes are required. Password management is now immediately available, making it easier than ever to securely store and manage your credentials alongside the rest of your information.
A Smarter and More Efficient Mail Experience
Mail continues to evolve as a powerful email management solution.
EPIM 26.5 introduces the ability to pin important email messages, keeping them at the top of your message list for quick access. You can also customize quick actions in Card View, allowing frequently used email actions to match your personal workflow.
The release also improves support for secure email communication by refining PGP key creation and export, while contact groups can now be suggested automatically when entering recipients in To, CC, and BCC fields.
Additional improvements make Mail even more convenient:
- Better handling of IMAP accounts across time zones
- Automatic insertion of attachment names into empty email subjects
- Various improvements to Mail usability and reliability
Better Planning and Calendar Visibility
EPIM 26.5 introduces several practical enhancements that make scheduling and planning easier.
You can now mark categories as holidays, automatically highlighting dates containing events with those categories in red throughout Calendar views. This makes public holidays, vacations, company holidays, and other important dates much easier to identify at a glance.
Calendar views also indicate when additional events exist for a day but cannot be displayed due to limited space, helping ensure important information never goes unnoticed.
Additional Calendar enhancements include:
- Improved direct editing of tasks and events
- Suggested event and task durations based on your most frequently used values
More Ways to Personalize EPIM
EPIM 26.5 provides additional flexibility in how the application looks and behaves.
You can now choose between two different Sidebar navigation styles: Stacked and Navigation Buttons. This allows you to tailor the interface to your personal preferences and workflow.
We've also improved how long text fields are displayed in Contacts and Tasks, making information easier to read and manage.
Additional usability improvements include:
- Better handling of long text in Contacts
- Better handling of long text in Tasks
- Improved overall interface consistency
- Numerous workflow refinements throughout the application
Faster, More Reliable and More Polished
Beyond visible new features, EPIM 26.5 includes numerous under-the-hood optimizations designed to improve performance, responsiveness, and stability.
Many refinements introduced throughout the beta program have been incorporated into this release, resulting in a smoother and more consistent experience across Notes, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Passwords.
