Press Release Summary = Email Hosting Specialist Simply Mail Solutions launches a new POP3 Email service called "SMS NexGen" aimed at individual and SME email users
Press Release Body = Simply Mail Solutions, the UK's Email Hosting specialists have launched a new PO3 email service which has many more features and facilities compared with the service most ISPs give their customers.
Commented Colin Smith, Managing Director of SMS: "Email has moved on and most ISPs provide a pretty basic POP3 email service. Our new SMS NexGen service based on the UNIX Zimbra OS server software has a really superb web interface and lots of other features such as calendar support. We also include free use of a domain in the price of only £1.00 per month which is something most ISPs charge for so really this makes the package very competitive. In addition the account is then a PIE (Provider Independent Email) account which means that users no longer have to change their email address if they change their ISP. This is important because switching is much easier and common than it used to be with all the 'free' offers now available"
Simply Mail Solutions offers two email hosting options: SMS Nexgen UNIX based POP3 email but with advanced features, Microsoft Exchange Hosting - particularly strong for its mobile computing features with Windows Mobile 5 and collaboration tools. In all cases customers can opt for individual mailboxes on the company's servers or have servers dedicated to their own use. One strong feature of the company's offerings is the ability to use the same domain across the range of services - e.g. customers can have POP3 mailboxes for £1.00 per month and enhanced mailboxes using Microsoft Exchange for £5.99 per month all with the same @yourorganisation com email address.
The following table compares the new service with typical accounts from ISPs.
