| Contacts Auto-Update Campaigns | Top |
EmailHosting.com Contact Update Campaigns allow you to quickly and easily let your contacts update their own
personal information. Simply start a new update campaign, select a personalized message to send to your contacts,
and we will do the work for you. Each person in the folder you select will be sent an email asking them to visit a
URL if the personal information contained in the email is incorrect or incomplete. Once they have visited the URL they can update,
edit, or delete any part of their contact.
| Addressbook Import / Export | Top |
Through the email hosting web interface there is an easy to use wizard for you to import and export your address book
from many common email clients. This wizard provides you step-by-step directions on exporting your address book
entries from your email client such as MS Outlook / Outlook Express and uploading these contacts into
a contacts folder.
Through the advanced web compose mail utility (send or reply email utility) you will find a handy feature for spell checking your messages
before you send them. This pop-up window is similar to the spell check feature you find in powerful email clients.
| Web Addressbook Compose Autocomplete | Top |
Another feature of our web compose mail utility (send or reply email utility) is the ability to auto-complete the To: and CC: fields (or the recipient)
of your email message. We capture the names and email addresses from all of your contacts folders
and allow you to auto-complete these names or addresses when writing an email.
This means that if John Doe is in your Contacts folder, you can simply start writing John D and
the system will try to guess which person from your contacts list you are attempting to email.
All of our email hosting account plans feature a no-risk 10 day trial period. You may sign-up for an account
under any personal or business plan for your 10 day trial period without entering any
billing information.
Once you become comfortable with our email hosting service, you may then enter in your payment information from your
account. Once payment information is entered your first billing cycle will begin on the day
after your trial period expires.
This is the amount of disk storage in megabytes that are allowed on your account. This includes
all aspects of your email hosting account including mail items, folders, address book, journal, tasks and notes.
You are provided disk space statistics on your web interface to let you know how much disk space
you are using expressed on a graph and a number, we also show you this data by each folder.
IMAP is an advanced mail protocol that our email hosting service utilizes to connect with your email client.
This is a standarized internet mail protocol for retrieving and storing mail folders and mail messages.
Most email clients have support for IMAP including MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Eudora and
even your PDA. You may connect to EmailHosting.com's IMAP server at: IMAP.EMAILHOSTING.COM using the default
port 143 or if you are behind a firewall port 80 is also available.
SMTP is the standard internet mail protocol for sending mail messages across the internet.
EmailHosting.com's SMTP server is available to users at: SMTP.EMAILHOSTING.COM on
the default port 25 or if you are behind a firewall port 2500 is also available.
| Group Sub-Account Mailboxes | Top |
With Business/Group you can setup sub-accounts for members of your organization. This allows
each member of your organization to have their own mailbox with shared resources among
your group. Each user can share his or her own mail, calendar, address book, and tasks folders
with one another. In addition, each mailbox user can have his or her own mail alias @yourcompany.com
as domain names are shared across all accounts within the group.
Shared Disk Space is applicable to the Business/Group email hosting plan. This means that your disk storage limit
is shared among all mailboxes setup within your account. The sum of all mailboxes cannot
exceed the disk storage limit. This allows greater flexibility of your disk storage requirements.
| Secure Server Side Storage | Top |
With our email hosting accounts, all of your mail and data is stored on our secure servers. You may access
your mail from many different sources using secure internet protocols. You no longer have to worry about having
your mail data backed up on your local computer; we do it for you on our servers. If you are planning
on a PC upgrade or doing some traveling you will not have to fear moving your mail and groupware data;
it is stored on our servers. Simply setup your email client or use the web on the new PC.
Access methods include,
accessing your account from our webmail and your favorite email client, anywhere in the world.
| eFilter Anti-Spam & Anti-Virus Technology | Top |
eFilter is a very unique and customizable Anti-Spam & Anti-Virus technology that we have deployed. We use a combination
of spam technologies that allow you to fine tune your spam settings to your liking. Each message that comes into your email hosting
account is rated for a spam score. The possible score ratings are as follows:
Very Unlikely that this message is spam.
Unlikely that this message is spam.
Hard to tell that this message is spam.
Likely that this message is spam.
Very Likely that this message is spam.
All messages that come in.
You can setup up to 3 actions for each of the scores listed above; they are as follows:
Challenge / Response system This verifies that the person sending you email is a human and not a machine through
a unique verification system. If a sender has never sent a mail to your email hosting account before, they will be sent a message asking
them to visit a URL, until such time the message they have sent is held in your escrow (Unverified) mailbox.
Forward message to your Spam Folder
Discard Message
eFilter also has a very strong anti-virus enabled system. By default all of your incoming email messages are scanned
for viruses that may be harmful to your computer. If a virus is detected we will deliver this suspect message to your Spam folder
and attach the original email message to a wrapped email that is not harmful.
| Rule Magic & Mail Rules | Top |
EmailHosting.com is a server-side email solution that replaces all of the power of your email client to the server side so
it must be configured only once. In most cases you will notice a service & feature improvement over your existing email
clients.
Rule Magic is an unique feature to your email hosting account that adds a bit of artificial intelligence to your email. This
feature when enabled will learn how your messages are sorted within your email account. For example, when you first
setup your email account at EmailHosting.com, if a message is not spam it will come to your Inbox folder. You will then
move some of these messages to other folders within your account. This move process will train the rule magic
system where your email should be delivered so that in the future the system will deliver your email directly
to these folders. While this will take a few days of training it can become very accurate in a relatively
short time period. This feature is off by default; so be sure to check out the Settings --> Mail Rules area of your account. This is truly a unique feature to our email hosting service!
Mail Rules enable you to sort your email into various folders based on certain actions such as From a certain person,
or delivered from a certain consolidated Yahoo!, Hotmail, or POP3 account. They can become complex so that power users can
fine tune the mail rules to the most specific type of email message. In addition to sorting your email the system can also
be configured to forward your email to a certain person, mark it as flagged and a number of other action features.
Mail autoresponders are available to users that have setup their domain name with EmailHosting.com. This
enables you to setup mail aliases that autorespond to incoming mail with a specified subject and mail
message.
Mail forwarders are available to users that have setup their domain name with EmailHosting.com. This
enables you to setup mail aliases that forward incoming mail to a specified email address.

This is great to show friends your appointment schedule or for clients to make appointments with you.
| Web Public Appointment Creation | Top |
Through the use of the Web Publishable Calendar, you have the option to allow visitors to view your published folder
to make, change and cancel appointments.
When a visitor requests to make, change or cancel an appointment then
an email is sent to the folder owner. The owner of this folder must then visit a URL to approve or deny the
public request to modify the calendar. A follow-up email is sent to the person requesting to modify
your folder with an approval or deny decision.
| eFriends Collaboration | Top |
With our business/group email hosting account, occasionally you will find it necessary to share information with not
only members of your own group but a member of a different group. Friends
allow you to setup a two-way handshake to share folders just as you would with other members of your
group.
Fused Accounts are e-mail accounts that you setup within your email hosting account to consolidate all of your email
accounts. This includes your Yahoo!, Hotmail, MSN, EarthLink and POP3 email accounts that you
setup within your email hosting account as fused accounts.
Bandwidth is the amount of mail traffic that you send and receive to your email account.
This is the total amount of bits that are transmitted across the Internet for your
