Alerts for low or muted device audio

Discover when you've gone silent before others do. Trident will now alert you if your device microphone or speaker volume is too low or muted during calls and meetings. (Available on Windows)

Save emails as .eml or .html files

You can now save individual emails in HTML or EML formats.

This helps you archive, share, and manage emails more effectively. (Available on Mac and Windows) 

Steer clear of emails with suspicious URLs

A new security warning now highlights emails with unsafe links or suspicious URLs. This alert helps you identify risky messages and decide whether to open them, enhancing your email security and protecting against phishing or malicious content. (Available on Mac)
