What Is Email Exchange

Nowadays, people are always on the go and being connected to the Internet allows us to be flexible, especially in terms of email correspondence. Email Exchange gives us the ability to flawlessly manage emails on our mobile devices without having to depend on a desktop computer.

In this article, we’ll learn more about Email Exchange and why it’s the best choice for your business.

What Is Email Exchange

Email Exchange is an email platform solution developed by Microsoft which allows you to manage, not just Emails, but your Calendars, Contacts, and Tasks as well - synchronising them across all your devices.

Email Exchange vs Regular Email Hosting

When you have the regular Email Hosting, you only have the option to set up your emails as POP3 or IMAP, which works as follows:

• POP3 (Post Office Protocol) downloads all your incoming emails from a server and saves it locally - without synchronising data.
  For example, opening an email message on your phone downloads the message on your phone ONLY. When you open your email account on a computer (or other mobile device), the recently opened email message will not be accessible.
• IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) saves a copy of all sent and received emails on the server and synchronises data across all devices.
  This means that it doesn’t matter where you open an email message, it’s still going to appear on all other devices. This is the default setup used by free web-based mail service providers, like Gmail.

Email Exchange, on the other hand, can be set up as POP3, IMAP, or Exchange. And, of course, with the Exchange setup, you get more than just the email synchronisation service that IMAP offers.

Why Choose Email Exchange
