HostEmail Access
Host services should include a certain number of email accounts and an email server.
E-mail account
The hosting solution should be capable of providing an email account for 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 stands for Post Office Protocol. POP is a standard client/server protocol used for sending and receiving email.
Email is received and stored on your Internet server until you retrieve it through a client email program such as Outlook or Foxmail.
IMAP Email
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is another standard protocol used for sending and receiving email.
IMAP provides certain improvements over POP, in that email stored on an IMAP server can be processed by multiple computers without having to transfer messages back and forth between computers. POP, however, is designed to support mail access on a single computer.
Web-based email
Web-based email allows us to access email through a web browser. After logging in to your email account via the web, you can send and receive email. Being able to access email from anywhere in the world is a very attractive feature.
Typical examples of web-based email include:GmailandHotmail 。
Email forwarding
Email forwarding allows us to have multiple mail names.
Through the email forwarding feature, aliases can be set for other mail 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
Mailing list
Some servers provide a mailing list feature. This is a valuable feature if you wish to send email to a large number of users.
