Hi,
Web based is good for clients that are always on the move and need to
use mobile phones (IMAP), this way the emails will be kept on the server.
But whenever possible try to offer your clients pop3 so that your
server doesn't get out of space.
Cheers
Délsio,
I would caveat that recommendation with this:
- When my client is a "home user" and the only service I'm providing
is DNS and EMail, then yes, I can see recommending POP so as to get
their data off of my server... BUT
- When my client is a business (even -- or actually especially when --
a home business), I virtually FORCE them to use IMAP so that the data is
on a server, and not just their own hard drive. As I tell my clients:
"When you use IMAP, you don't have to include your emails in your daily
backup of your system... you do backup your system daily, right?"
Of course, that's a great lead in to my offsite backup solutions... :-)
Seriously though, when my clients are hiring me for consulting work, I
ALWAYS recommend IMAP for the safety of their data!
Just my thoughts... remember what you paid for them before complaining! :-)
