Support for Business eMail systems
Email has become an essential business tool for communicating with staff, suppliers, customers and more. But if your email system does not operate in the way your business needs it to, communications can end up like Chinese Whispers. We offer a full email server support service that will enhance your internal and external business communication.
Email servers
email server software, such as Ms Exchange or VPOP3 , has many advantages: It allows you to have as many email addresses to the left of your domain name (e.g. mycompany.co.uk) as you wish. It can help with marketing by sending targeted mailshots to existing and prospective customers. It allows greater control over spam issues. Inter-office communcation is also enhanced if all users have an email address of their own.
Incorrect Email Addresses
A common email addressing system for a business is: an individuals first name, a dot, then their surname and end in your company domain name - e.g. firstname.surname@mycompany.co.uk. However a common problem is that the business email address is different to the domain name where the web page resides. - e.g. www.mycompany.co.uk is the web site, but the email address is sales@mycompany.aol.com This can be very confusing to existing and potential customers alike.
Stopping unwanted spam emails
Spam is the name given to badly targeted unwanted emails and unfortunately it is rife. Your ISP should filter out the obvious spam email before it gets to you, if it doesnt, change your ISP! Less obvious spam can be detected by using an email server; this gives far more control over what email you do and dont want to receive.
Coping with oversized mailboxes in Ms Outlook
As the use of email has grown over time to become an effective business communication tool, it is natural that messages will need to be stored for later use. However, this means that a users mailbox will need to be infinite in size.
The best method of holding emails indefinitely is to archive the data in the correct manner by splitting the current email file into several seperate archive email files; Keeping every email that your business has sent or received in one file causes technical issues often resulting in data corruption. This is particularly true of the 'Outlook; type of email clients, but other email clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird or SeaMonkey suffer in a different way: the speed of opening and closing emails soon becomes an issue.
