Email is now a critical communication tool for business. For most companies, their website is ideal at bringing in new customers, but sadly in very few cases the website is not utilized to manage existing customers - email is. Email can save you time and money, but can also cost you quite a bit if not used properly.
updatepanel does not offer a 'value' email service, but a premium service for companies who are serious about their email performance. From large corporations to small 1 person businesses, updatepanel provides reliable and flexible email options.
Your email post office will be hosted on constantly monitored and updated Windows servers, with multiple redundant fibre connections. If you ever have any special requests or configuration needs, you have instant access to our online support system to let us know what you need. Additionally you can create, edit, change passwords, set auto-responders and more instantly through your email updatepanel.
Here are some of the features you can look forward to as an updatepanel email customer:
- POP3 Access, used by most email programs such as Outlook
- Webmail Access - including online spell check

spam and virus protection
In addition to the Basic Email Service updatepanel is pleased to offer Anti-Virus and Spam protection through the Email Defence service. This service will automatically scan your incoming email for viruses and spam characteristics. Any "positive" matches will not be allowed to go to your inbox. You will receive an email on a daily basis with a list of the emails that were blocked so you can release any "false positives."
This premium service is available for the low cost of only $24.99 / email account per year. It is important to note that this service does not provide Anti-Virus / Spyware protection for your individual computer - only your email account. Although most viruses are spread via email, it is still important to maintain an up to date anti-virus program on your computer.
