How to easily access email from anywhere?
You don’t need an Exchange Server to access your emails from multiple locations, whether you’re in the office or out of it. Many small businesses use POP3 mail accounts, which download all your emails to the mail client that you’re using to access it. This may be Outlook Express, Outlook or Thunderbird, etc. Once downloaded to your PC, then that mail is only accesible on that machine. A quick/effective way to overcome this is to use IMAP mail accounts. These accounts, in contrast to POP3, don’t move the mail off the ISP/Hosting email server, they just copy it locally to your machine. Initially, they only display the header so you don’t have the overhead of all emails being downloaded before you can start reading them. What’s clever about IMAP is that once you read a mail, it remembers this and when you access it elsewhere it knows you read it and keeps its status. Any good ISP/Hosting should provide IMAP support and if they don’t, then change to one that does. You shouldn’t need to pay
