It was a little more work to set up but hosted Exchange has limitations. We are also planning on adding Sharepoint and integrating some other functions on the server when we upgrade the hardware.

So no client email for ISP etc? I got sick of managing Exchange, so I just use cloud 365. Works fine for small or large nubmers, doubt it will bail anytime soon. Don’t need to worry about hardware/software/domain AD etc. etc. It’s not too hard to manage online. When I was hosting email I used Zimbra, but now days I don’t bother with client email.

I have grown accustom to MS servers, even though they can be a resource hog. I use Touchdown client with my Android phone and “if just works” I don’t want to do a cloud based replacement per se. Not comfortable with my entire business email system, etc. being out in the world. Soooo…. What have you guys moved to for an Exchange type alternative? Paul Paul McCall, Pres.
