[9] This included many improvements, mostly to the Messenger e-mail client, which now also took on the features of Collabra.

A feature called "Roaming Profiles" was added in version 4.5 that synchronized a user's bookmarks, address book and preferences with a remote server, so that a user's home and work browsers could have the same bookmarks.
