Introduction

Depending on the environment you'll be working in, you have two primary choices for mail. You can decide on our PC based solution Microsoft Exchange Email or a IMAP Email solution. Both provide scanning for Virus and Spam through our Barracuda Spam Firewall

Microsoft Exchange Email

If you are accustomed with Microsoft Outlook and/or need a shared calendar then we offer the UMIACS Exchange service.

Please see Microsoft Exchange 2007 Email for more information.

IMAP Email

Our IMAP service is available as a simple multi-platform way of reading your mail. It provides powerful server-side mail filtering. You can configure you own client or use our Webmail server to read your email.
