Astrasync has just rolled out their latest beta release to customers and it's bundled with a ton of new additions and features to make the services even more of a compelling offer. The following improvements have been made in AstraSync 4.2 Beta over AstraSync 4.1:

- Email content encryption.
- Kinetic scrolling of the message list on touch screen devices.
- Leaner, faster message store system.
- More performance settings for power users including control of Direct Push behavior, email truncation size, PIM status checks and Auto Discover.
