What's your company email system for?

There are several ways to get a business email system, it is therefore important to establish your requirements first, and then work out the best way to meet them.

As well as estimating how many email addresses you need, you should consider how you want to access your email. Will you want to log in when you're away from the office, or receive emails on a mobile phone?

Many email services limit the size of attachments and the number of messages you can store, so you also need to consider the volume and nature of messages you will be handling. Sending automated or bulk marketing messages (like a company newsletter) usually requires special software too.

Below is a rough guide of different types and technologies of email services.

• POP3 - Post Office Protocol Version 3
  With a POP3 email service, your email messages are downloaded to your computer and then usually deleted from your central email server. In general with POP3, you're usually restricted to using one computer for your email. Every member of the staff can have their own email account, but everyone will be restricted to their own computer. Most free email addresses that come as part of your internet connection package are POP3 accounts. Replied (Sent) email is stored on the local workstations used for replying the email.
• IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol
  IMAP is an alternative to POP3 whereby messages sent to you are kept on the remote business email server. The server also monitors the status about each email whether it's been read or replied to. Replied (Sent) emails are stored on the server.
  IMAP enables you to log in from any computer and see your whole inbox, complete with the status of messages – so you can see which you've read, which you've replied to, and so on.
• Microsoft Exchange
  Exchange is a proprietary email system created by Microsoft. Exchange is a very powerful email server system with added features like centrally stored (shared) Calendar, Task management and (shared) Contact List. Like IMAP, Exchange stores messages centrally, so you can log in from different places.
  Exchange is widely available on market and can be bought online as a monthly service. It's often called Hosted Exchange or Exchange Online.
  Exchange Emails and services can be access from a Mobile Phone, from the Internet (thought a web browser) and from Outlook on your desktop / laptop computer.
• Webmail or HTTP
  As the name suggests, webmail services require you to use a web browser to log in and access your business email. To send or receive email, you visit a specific website and log in with your username and password.
  Webmail is very convenient as you can literally access it from anywhere with an internet connection.
  Microsoft Exchange includes a webmail interface, so you can check your business email if you're not at your own computer.
  Google hosted email solutions is a fully integrated webmail service system.
• Email on your mobile
  Most smart mobile phones can connect to POP3, IMAP and Exchange services easily. Many also work with Microsoft Exchange and webmail services offer special sites for people using mobile phones.
