Which Business Email Client?

[d000hg]

Yeah that's true, I forget they do paid-for versions now. Still I've never truly embraced the Google platform and only have a Google account as a by-product of owning an Android device. Not that I'm anti-Google by any means, but professionally I guess I've 'grown up' with Outlook for email and there's just no incentive to move away from it while it does the job I need.

I'm sure I'd have been on Outlook if it wasn't the case that when I first wanted a proper business email, email providers still viewed an Exchange account as an extra to charge more for whereas Google were doing free business versions for small companies.

I use Outlook too.

Have domain and website for plan B at Fasthosts. Use their Exchange hosted email for each user. Free Outlook license and download. No problems so far. Been there about 4 years.

Gmail for me. Available on any device at any time with blistering fast search. No need to worry about backups and viruses.

Last time I used Outlook, 3 odd years ago now, I didn't like that it was "on my main computer" and accessing emails when mobile was always a terrible PITA. I'm sure it's moved on since then, but I'm so happy with Gmail that I'll never go back to a hosted (vs. cloud) service.

For $50 a year I think it's a steal

Outlook for Mac client using exchange hosted via 1&1 internet

its never failed me yet

I use 1&1 but just the regular email hosting

All my client applications: Outlook *2, Android email, Aqua mail and thunderbird use IMAP to connect

I use Google Apps, very good. Can access from anywhere and it's the familiar Gmail interface, and there's a Gmail client for my phone (Andriod).

Android

I use Google Apps for my different domain names, but now that they charge new customers I'd shop around as I don't think it's worth the fees.

How can you say that about the mighty Google?

Zoho. It is the best suite overall.
I use it as well for my invoices.

The only drawback is the calendar app has no SMS alert service.

Didn't realise they started charging for it now. I got a free account a while back and it supports 50 free users (not that i'm going to use that many!!)

Office 365 P1 customer here and costs the ltd. company £3.90 pcm (hosted exchange email, Lync online, SharePoint online and online office apps). You can pay for it on a credit card so it's very easy and quick to setup.

I already have Office 2010 so I just use Outlook to connect to O365 which also allows me to connect to my three ClientCo email exchange accounts all from one place.
