I 100% concur. When I get email from "businesses" using Gmail, Hotmail, or AOL, I find myself questioning that business. Especially if the person is in any kind of technology role.
Not that bad things don’t happen everywhere, but don’t come screaming to me when you are losing email, dropping messages, etc and you don’t get any support for it. I guess you could always ask for your money back. :) Plus like the original poster said, push email is an added benefit. -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 7:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: leased email vs free Not having a business address of crappyfreemail.com or gmail.com or hotmail.com is worth way more than 6 bucks a month. Just for the impression it gives people. It is low rent. Also, some of those free services will have problems delivering to some corporate systems. Many SA's take the approach of block Yahoo and worry about it later for example. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Melahn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: leased email vs free A friend is leaving the company to do his own thing. He asked me if he "should I lease exchange space($6/mo) or just use a POP/IMAP (free) solution?" I told him I would build him a box but he says he doesn't want to have to manage anything. What are the pros/cons to lease vs free? To me "PUSH" is worth $6/mo. Opinions?
