2. Tips For Choosing Best Webmail
Choosing the best webmail server requires careful planning for its
purchase on the part of management for several reasons. Keep in mind
that the webmail secure server will contain the important
communications (i.e., emails and messages), calendars and contacts as
well as tasks of the entire organisation – and we all know the critical
importance of these items in the short-term
and long-term operations of the
organisation. So, the best webmail server
will become a valuable technology toward
the achievement of organisational goals,
objectives and mission.
Here are some useful tips in choosing the best webmail secure server in
the industry. These tips are general in nature so you must adapt these
tricks to suit your organisation’s unique requirements in regards to a
webmail server.

3. #1 Consider the Service Provider’s User
Base Growth
The best proof of the reliability of a service provider and the product functionality of its webmail server is
the number of users and/or downloads especially of its paid versions. This is because word-of-mouth
advertising is still the strongest form of marketing in the webmail server industry – a satisfied user will
provide favourable reviews about it, recommend it to their peers, and continue using it for several years
until upgrades are available.
Many sites provide objective information about user base growth for service
providers in the webmail server industry, said information of which can also
include the number of downloads, the names of existing organizations on the
users list, and the ratings (i.e., in number of stars) given by the users. Just
compare the number of downloads among service providers to get a feel, so
to speak, about its popularity.
For example, MailEnable has over 2,000 downloads for the Professional Version for the first quarter of
2013, which places it in the top 5 of the most popular email servers. Although you must look into the
product’s functionality as the ultimate test of its value as a webmail server, the number of downloads is a
good indication of its value.

4. #2 Read the Reviews, Testimonials and
News
This is a self-explanatory step toward choosing the best
webmail server – you read the critics’
reviews and the customers’
testimonials to determine the pros
and cons as well as the features and
functions of several email servers.
You are, in short, engaging in
comparison shopping, a must-do
activity when buying any product or
patronising any service.

5. #3 Availability of the Free Versions or the
Trial Period
Many webmail server service providers provide their prospective
customers the opportunity to test the features and functions of their
product – for free! You will then have ample opportunity to experience
the webmail secure server including its suitability (i.e., product
functionality, ease of installation and maintenance, and quality of
customer support) for your organisation’s requirements without the
monetary risks.
In the case of MailEnable, for example, you can download the free-ofcharge Standard Version and then decide to upgrade to the Professional
Version or one of the two Enterprise Versions.

6. #4 Understand the Technical Aspects
Let’s face it. The webmail server technology demands a basic understanding, at the very least, of its
technical aspects so as to optimise its features and functions. Think of it this way: Even the best technology
will be useless if and when you have little to no idea of its optimum use.
The technical aspects that you must look into – or at least, let an expert on the matter give his objective
opinion on – include:
• Product functionality
• Capacity planning/scalability
• Product architecture/integration extensibility
• Platform requirements
• Peripheral tools/integration
• Migration simplicity
• Security measures because no webmail secure server will be so without said measures
Indeed, if you are going to invest in an excellent webmail server like MailEnable, then you must adopt all
measures necessary to ensure that you are getting what you paid for.
