[Eug-lug] Fwd: question about email hosting solutions

[Ben Barrett]

I love gmail's labels (as opposed to folders, which allow no overlap in
context-tagging).
Their recent application additions are awesome, and I like their calendar
too... I have not used their "for domains" service yet, but am curious to
see what differences exist in the domain/organization implementation.  Group
calendaring is hot.  :)   I also like their txt-msg appointment reminders,
fwiw.
YMMV, of course, and IMAP, heh, well traditional folders are kind of
limited, dare I say,
and I can see why they don't provide it -- how would you stuff a tag cloud
into bins?

As for the run-of-the-mill hosting services... if your spam volume is low
enough (and, er, your users' bandwidth is high enough),
you can let nice mail clients like thunderbird handle it (albeit with a
touch of training).  I haven't seen any run-of-the-mill hosting
services which include SpamAssassin, but then again I haven't been looking
:)

I've become a reseller for web hosting recently, contact me off-list if
you're interested.  I am pleased with the service so far, nuff said.

good luck!
