It’s decision time.

Our website management platform has basic email capability and is provided as part of the service we provide. This system is suited to situations where there are only a few mailboxes required and email is accessed via one computer (unless you prefer to use the web based email client)

Alternatively, we promote Google Apps as our preferred email platform (we use it ourselves) as it is extremely flexible and can be easily accessed via a large range of hardware and software options.

Here’s some information on Google Apps on their website: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-au/business/index.html
