Local Email
Our local email is hosted in Namibia and allows for both POP3 and IMAP functionality. POP3 downloads the email from a server to a single computer, then deletes the email from the server. On the other hand, IMAP stores the message on a server and synchronizes the message across multiple devices. Generally speaking, IMAP is more powerful and would be recommended by our expert team if you’re working across multiple devices.
Local Active Sync
With our local active sync solution, you will have all the features above plus many more! In addition to your mail being synchronized across all devices, your contacts, calendars, tasks and notes will also be in sync. Let us empower you to work anywhere!
