For me it wasn't about difficulty it was about expense. Email, at least how we did it, was a cost center not a profit center. I kept it until I sold and wish I would have ditched it much sooner. It was by far the biggest tech support PITA.
I did learn afterward that the longer someone has an email address the more they are willing to pay to keep it. I have been raising he fee we charge to use those old emails. I am now at $250 a year for a single email and I have people begging me not to cut it off. I am still going to, but I think it is interesting since I used to give it away. I guess what I am saying is that if you do not charge a decent amount for it, why do it? The there is the whole minimum volume to be profitable thing that comes into play. I just would not keep doing something that doesn't make money. If it does, more power to you. On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 7:18 AM Mike Hammett <af...@ics-il.net> wrote: > There seems to be two camps.
