Electronic mail, most commonly abbreviated email, is a method of exchanging digital messages across the Internet or other computer networks.

Worldwide, email is used by over 1.4 billion people, and when used correctly, Email is a powerful, low-cost communications tool that businesses can use to market their goods, provide better customer service and work more efficiently.

It is therefore vital that your email provider offers you a resilient, powerful and flexible email package which just works, allowing you to get on with running your business.

POP3 is the most popular way of receiving email. All E-mpower.Net email accounts are fully accessible via POP3, meaning that you can access your email with all of the popular email clients, including Outlook, Live Mail, Outlook Express, Entourage (MAC) and Thunderbird

All E-mpower.net email accounts include the provision of this secure service that allows you to send and receive e-mail from anywhere with a Web browser and Internet connection, great for when you’re travelling or working outside the office.

An alternative to POP3, Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) provides the user more capabilities for retaining e-mail on the server and for organizing it in folders on the server. IMAP can be thought of as a remote file server. All E-mpower.Net mail accounts can be configured using IMAP.

It is considered good practice to operate a secondary or backup email server. This means that if the primary server fails, or is busy, the email is passed to the secondary/Backup mail Server where it is held in a queue and delivered once the primary mail server is back online.

This ensures that no email is lost, and creates a more resilient mail system. All E-mpower.Net accounts automatically include a secondary backup email service – at no extra cost.
