Host email access

Host services should include certain email accounts and email servers.

E-mail Accounts

The hosting solution should have the ability to provide an email account to everyone in the company.

The E-mail address format is as follows:

john@mycompany.com

john.doe@mycompany.com

jdoe@mycompany.com

POP E-mail

POP refers to Post Office Protocol. POP is a standard client/server protocol for sending and receiving email.

E-mail is received and stored on your internet server until you receive it through a client mail program such as Outlook and Foxmail.

IMAP Email

IMAP refers to Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is another standard protocol for sending and receiving email.

IMAP provides certain improvements over POP in that emails stored on an IMAP server can be processed by multiple computers without the need to transfer messages back and forth between computers. POP, on the other hand, is designed to support email access on a separate computer.

Web-based email

Web-based email allows us to access email through a web browser. You can send and receive email after logging into your email account via the web. Being able to access email from anywhere in the world is appealing.

Typical examples of web-based email are: Gmail and Hotmail.

Email forwarding

Email forwarding allows us to have multiple email names.

Through the email forwarding function, you can set aliases for other email accounts:

For example:

You can forward emails sent to postmaster@mycompany.com to peter@ mycompany.com

Forward emails sent to sales@mycompany.com to mary@mycompany.com

Mail list

Mail will be provided on some servers List function. This is a valuable feature if you want to send emails to a large number of users.
