2. FEATURES OF EMAIL SERVERS
The best enterprise mail server should be able to effectively and
efficiently handle high volumes of email wherein greater
security, flexibility and functionality are required at all times. Keep
in mind that standard and professional versions of email servers
may be suitable for small to mid-sized organisations but not for
large-scale enterprises mainly because of the sophisticated
requirements for webmail and web administration, collaboration
and synchronization, and anti-spam and security measures, among
other aspects of an enterprise email server.
Here then, are the features and functions that the best enterprise
email server should provide for its clients. You may want to learn
more about MailEnable, one of the more popular email servers with
enterprise versions, when making your shortlist for the best value
enterprise mail server.
3. SYNCHRONIZATION AND INTEGRATION
We live in a world where synchronisation among several applications is
a must; otherwise, we will have a challenging time, to say the
least, switching from one application to the next and then updating any
changes in said applications. Basically, automatic synchronisation must
be made by the email server when appointments, tasks and contacts in
either Outlook or webmail are made – no manual updates, please.
But it does not stop there either! Integration is as essential as
synchronisation when it comes to the best enterprise mail server
especially in a world where mobile phone usage is pervasive (i.e., 76% of
mobile phone users consider mobile technology as mostly helpful while
37% check their mobile phones every 30 minutes).
In that regard, the enterprise mail server should also provide the highest
possible level of integration with mobile gadgets including smartphones
powered by Android and Windows as well as the iPhone and
iPad, among other mobile platforms. This is made possible by Exchange
ActiveSync with its “push” technology.
4. WEBMAIL FEATURES
Webmail is the heart if the email server, so to speak, so it makes sense that it must have
advanced features including but not limited to:
• Personal web calendars
• Personalised filters
• Global contacts
• Read and create HTML emails
• Anti-spam features
But since mobile device usage is also a must, the email server should also be designed
for smartphones and tablets. Users should be able to log in automatically, thus, allowing
for quick, easy and secure access to both contacts and inbox.
• Public Folders
Keep in mind that emails are not the only documents shared, exchanged and
collaborated on with the best enterprise mail server. Public folders must then be
available for the users, said folders of which can store materials like corporate
newsletters, letterheads, and policy documents, among others. The idea here is that the
files and documents are open for all members although these are connected to a distinct
special resource for security reasons.
5. MESSAGE AND CONTENT MANAGEMENT
The best email servers like MailEnable make it easy for users to manage their emails
including the contents. This is achieved in several ways including:
• Queue prioritisation
Regular mail and bulk mail are separated such that the adverse effects of delivering bulk
mail to their recipients are less likely to affect regular mail performance. The webmail
administrator can also designate users whose emails are given priority status instead of
being grey listed, thus, facilitating real-time communications within the company.
• Message and content filtering
Filtering requires setting the rules of actions for messages and their contents as these
emails move through the enterprise mail server. In the case of message filtering, the
filters can add text to messages, move or delete messages, and quarantine messages
while content filtering usually involves forwarding emails, deleting emails based on
content, and marking spam messages, among others.
• Force spell check
And because emails between professionals in the organisations and between two
organisations must be correct in spelling, grammar and sentence construction, spell
checking is automatically performed by the email server. The lesser mistakes, the more
credible the email will be.
These are the most important features and functions in the best enterprise mail server.
Talk to your service providers about these aspects, scrutinise their services, and then
make your decision based on your unique requirements for the mail server.
