Joe, About two months ago I set up a new hosted Exchange account for a new venture for me and my partner. I used a company based in Canada called Sherweb. (I don't have any connection with them other than as a satisfied user.) It is $9/user/month. That includes 3 GB of storage per user. Wirel

Yes. I use it for my own personal domain, and just use IMAP to check it. I haven't tried any of the calendaring yet, since all of my appointments are from work and they're handled via Exchange. Joe User wrote: Oh yes, I totally forgot about google. Isn't google free too?

Depending on the phone you can use Exchange ActiveSync, which just has the phone poll Exchange via HTTP requests and they will get their email, contacts, and calendar on their phone. It's free and it works pretty well. Joe User wrote: Right and that's why I ain't selling him a box and loadin

From what you've said, hosted would make the most sense. Ask the client why he wants exchange. GMail for domains is free and really good as well. Joe User wrote: Hello, I have a new client who's business I need and want. He's been talking about Exchange and I don't know jack about it. The th

Yes, You need to sit down with your client and talk some more. I do believe that all experience/knowledge you might need lives here on this list. I've read yards of stuff I do not even know how to ask the right opening question about. Good plan. Best, D At 17:07 03/31/2008 -0600, you wrote: Hell

JoeUser, I realize you "need and want." But, if you have no knowledge of "Exchange", then you are just blowing smoke, and, in the end the client will be unhappy. Accept the limitation. Your best would be to turn this client on to an "Exchange" person. Or, question the client deeper to see how

Hello, I have a new client who's business I need and want. He's been talking about Exchange and I don't know jack about it. The thing is, he wants it for 2 maybe 3 people. For something that small - wouldn't hosted exchange services be better and cheaper? Anyone? -- Regards, joeuser - Still loo
