- Addresses type user@mydomain.ru
- Required quantity of mailboxes (by default 1000)
- Convenient interface to control e-mail accounts (mailbox blocking for fired employees and giving mailboxes to new ones, passwords change and etc.)
- The facility to install the logo of your organization on Mail web-interface.
- Unlimited capacity of mailboxes
- Secure defense system from spam ad viruses
- Access to the mail through web-interface (from any computer) and mail programs POP3/IMAP
- Access to your mail from mobile phones
- Calendar for working day administration, meeting timetable and business list management
- Convenient instruments to work with letters in web-interface (browsing of “office” documents, downloading of all files in one archive, filters and marks for convention correspondence sorting and etc.)
- Various additional facilities (address on default, domain aliases, mailboxes aliases)
As you know, any hosting will not be able to compete with such an impressive list
