How does mail2web.com make money?

We get a lot of email from visitors to our site. It’s a mixture of questions, feedback, SPAM and sometimes the absurd. It’s Friday so I thought I’d share with you one that I found particularly entertaining:

SharePoint: one account with unlimited potential

If you’ve never heard about SharePoint but you have, at some point, had a need to set up a secure, password-protected site to store documents with version control, collaborate, back up files off site, run project management software, a knowledge base or a whole host of productivity applications, you should check it out (and then read this).

Mobile Internet: the choice is yours (not mine)

I often get asked what I think is the most cost effective way to get mobile data. Should I get a BlackBerry or an ActiveSync supported device? (e.g. Windows Mobile, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson – look here for a complete list of supported devices)

Not all email is created equal: an introduction to POP3, IMAP4 and MAPI

I was at HostingCon in Chicago last week and I heard someone comment about whether “email was still the killer app.”
Besides being a slightly useless thing to say, it occurred to me that email never was a killer app. A text message is a message.

Resell mail2web.com Exchange Services

Over the last couple years we have had a lot requests for a reseller program for our Microsoft Exchange services. We spoke to these customers to find out what features they wanted and ultimately they just wanted to be able to offer the services to their customers, allow the customer to manage some aspects of the service, and charge the customer directly what they deem is fair.

Push email for POP3 and IMAP4 accounts

There’s a cool trick you can use to push almost any email account (POP3 or IMAP4) to a mobile device. It’s not actually a trick but a few features we’ve put together into a 3-step process that will allow you to use a mail2web.com Personal Exchange account to handle almost any POP3 or IMAP4 account - like a gmail or yahoo email account.

Microsoft Exchange: not all offerings are created equal

We get a lot of inquiries from prospective customers asking what the difference is between our Microsoft Exchange offering and that of our competitors’. A perfectly reasonable question given the fact that we are all selling the same core software, but how that software is packaged makes an enormous difference.

mail2web.com: Top 10 questions we get all the time

mail2web.com offers a lot of things but our flagship product is a gateway to check your email. By entering your email address and password we allow you to see the contents of your inbox, send, receive and delete messages as well as a host of other features.

Push Email now available on Sony Ericsson and Nokia smart phones

We recently partnered up with DataViz to provide our customers with RoadSync, an easy-to-use application that provides wireless ‘direct push’ synchronization of mail2web.com’s exchange email, as well as calendar items, contacts, attachments and more, to a broad base of mobile devices.

Web Design tools: Life after FrontPage

After nine years of development, Microsoft recently announced that it will be discontinuing FrontPage. I’ll explain what discontinuing means in a second but I want to make it absolutely clear that myhosting.com will continue to support sites developed and maintained with this application as long as possible.
