I'm looking for some advice in terms of setting up a corporate email
environment on the Mac platform (but catering for users of other
platforms who would be potentially anywhere).
I'm quite familiar with pop email accounts, understand the concept of
IMAP (I think). But I haven't really been involved with email servers
and the like, which I think is probably what I need. I'm familiar with
having a standalone Mac, and popping email from my email host
(NetRegistry).
However I'm now using mailboxes which I need to allow communal access
to - potentially several people accessing the communal mailboxes in
the future. I also need to have a system whereby although I set up an
indovidual user's personal email account, the business still retains
copies of those emails. I imagine I could use NetRegistry and set up
an IMAP account, but then I am reliant on a 3rd party entirely,
including for storage of our email. I'm not totally comfortable with
that. So does this mean I need to set up an email server of our own,
with accompanying back up solutions? If so, can someone give me an
idea of the hardware & software requirements, rough idea of costs?
Or does it sound like I need to engage a networking specialist to
solve all of my problems? Are there any networking specialists amongst
wamug people? (I trust a Mac user's advice! :-)
Cheers, Steven
