Running the mail server is easy. Continually managing the server is
hard. Hacked customer accounts, SMTP Relays, It's always 'YOUR' fault
that they either cannot receive an email from a friend, or cannot send
an email to that friend. And the dreaded walking a customer through
setting up their email client.
I.E. AOL randomly just dumps mail from me, their servers accept it, but
never deliver it. I have no idea why, or any rhyme or reason to it.
But it's MY fault when a customer can't send to their friend at AOL.
And now I'm spending time looking through logs etc. That time all adds up.

Or so he thinks. I hope it works out that way. it always seemed really
cheap to run a mail server, until you had to do it right. Then it came
to be very expensive. I surrendered and went to GMail. To each his own
though. I know you likely have a lot smarter people than me around so
they will likely handle it with no issue.

Cost. We have lots of accounts on it and lists and all kinds of
other things. We put in our own email server concurrent with a
new domain. So it will save a significant amount of money for us.

Why are you leaving Gmail? There's nothing better unless you need
to live in the Microsoft ecosystem then you have office 365.
We love Google apps for business and I use it for personal email
too. They never let me down.

So, today it appears that my Windows Live Mail database is
corrupt. Can only see headers. So switching to outlook but
that is painful.
I rolled back the windows update that happened last night but
still dead WLM… sob…
Have resisted outlook for years. Few times it would be nice.
When someone sends a meeting or contact at least I can read it
without having to use a text editor and parsing through the
complex crap…
