Hosted Email Provider


Recommended Posts

Hey all

The company I currently work for is looking to host their emails externally so I'm looking for recommendations as to who to go with.

We currently have email hosted internally on a Linux box which is fine but nobody here really supports it. Because the company is run using email for day to day tasks etc it's detrimental to the company if we have any downtime.

It would be nice to have some kind of collaboration (calender, address book etc) with the hosted email.

I did look at Google but got this as a reply "Not sure I trust Google any more than I trust Microsoft as they are both ruthless-business behemoths...".

Anybody have any ideas?

Everyone.net and Mailstreet both offer hosted email.

IF you want Sharepoint, then you need to shop around for a provider that offers both. Mailstreet offers Sharepoint, but it's via a different company so you'll have two separate login IDs which means two different sets of passwords, too. Messy.

And that's his professional opinion why not to go with either of them?... Id say the most important is as someone said above SLA's. They are business critical.

    • Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants. This will allow affected users to experience AI-powered chat experience in Microsoft 365 apps, while meeting US government cloud requirements. Admins will also get the tools they need to manage access, security, and compliance at scale. Since June, Microsoft has also been rolling out Web Chat access for Copilot users since early June and that’s expected to be completed by the end of the month. The rollout announced today will also bring Copilot Chat to Microsoft 365 Copilot app (web), Outlook (web and desktop), and Microsoft Teams (web and desktop). The Redmond giant said that these features are included at no additional cost with eligible Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses (F1, F3, G3, and G5). It also pointed out that this rollout doesn’t include AI Agent functionality; that rollout will be announced in the future. If you have used artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, you’ll have probably noticed that it scours the web for up-to-date information. By default, this “web grounding” is off in GCC with Copilot Chat. If administrators want to allow it, they can explicitly enable the “Allow web search in Copilot” Cloud Policy - the exception is if the policy was already enabled in your environment, in that case your existing configuration will be followed. Microsoft says admins will also have granular controls over the AI in Microsoft 365 Copilot app, Outlook, Teams, and Web. If you’re an administrator of a GCC environment, you can check out the How to prepare section of the announcement to learn about reviewing your admin settings, educating users about how to use the AI, and monitoring the rollout. The usage of AI in government holds significant potential as shown by a recent study by the UK government. It found that AI helped to save civil servants 2 weeks, per person, per year. This time can be spent by them doing other productive activities, making government more efficient overall. With Microsoft's rollout of Copilot Chat to GCC, US government workers can be more efficient too.
    • I think that if the ad came from the AppleTV+ app, people wouldn't have been this bothered. But from the wallet app, i understand why this is frustrating. It's not anything new from Google and Microsoft, so maybe the Wallet App said to themselves, let's try it to test the water from iPhone users. Well, i hope they won't do it again. I went to see the movie yesterday in theater (in France), i hope there is a way to tell the Apple TV app to stop showing me ads for this movie now. I won't be going to see it again (maybe i'll rewatch it in a few months / years, it was nice).
    • It's on their roadmap but currently not supported.   https://kb.helpwire.app/roadmap/
    • So, paid PowerToys Run? I'm sure it has more stuff, but still, Run is perfectly good for me. Great app, though.
