What does all that mean?

If your goal is to have a centralized mail system with a centralized address book, shared scheduling, shared contacts and collaboration features, select Microsoft Exchange 2003.  Using RPC over HTTP allows users to securely synchronize there Outlook 2003 client from most internet connections.  We offer hosted as well as managed solutions tailored to your business needs.  Using hosted Exchange requires that all client PC's at least use Windows XP with service pack 2 and Outlook 2003.  Mac OS X and Entourage is also supported.

Differences between POP3/IMAP4 and Exchange

POP3 email:  This is the most commonly used type of email account.  All messages are initially stored on the server and downloaded to the work station prior viewing.  Generally the messages are removed from the server after they are downloaded.  This type of email is useful for non-mission critical requirements as well as single computer users.

IMAP4 email: If you want messaging with a centralized depository for all mailboxes, select IMAP which stores all messages on our servers.  Users are able to view the same inbox content from multiply machines or via the web mail interface.  Should your replace your computer simply configure your account and all messages will be downloaded again.  IMAP also allows shared access to mailboxes.  This is useful for environments where a mailbox like customerservice@domain.com has to be accessed by several people simultaneously or the assistant requires access to the managers mailbox for review and scheduling purposes.

All email accounts include sophisticated antivirus scanning utilizing several scan engines.  All messages sent and received by the server are archived for 45 days minimum.

Optionally you can keep your inbox free of unwanted Spam using state of the art SPAM filtering with user customizable whitelist using SpamAssassin.

If you want basic email solely through a browser with no additional software required, select web-based email.
