School Mail Services
 This
service was designed for schools who want to provide
mailboxes for their teachers and administrators. As
your needs grow to the point where you wish to add students
and even parents to your email system, you can easily
upgrade to one of our dedicated Mail Servers (below),
where you can have many more mailboxes (1,000's) for
a flat monthly cost (i.e., no charge for additional
mailboxes or additional domains).
Enhanced Features
All Able Mail Services email accounts come with the
following features:
| Webmail |
With Webmail, you can access your
email from any computer that has Internet access.
You simply open a web browser (like Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator) and you can get your email
from home or the office or on the road. Excellent
new features have been built into your webmail that
lets you have an address book online, an online
calendar, a to-do-list online, and even to keep
notes and other files online. (More

| Anti-Virus Filtering |
We use state-of-the-art software
to review all email that comes or goes through your
accounts. It currently contains over 100,000 virus
definitions and is updated every 3 hours. (More
info.) |
| Anti-SPAM Filtering |
We use state-of-the-art software
to filter out the SPAM and other junkmail you receive.
Even if the spammers have you on their lists, this
will help to reduce the problem. (More
info.) |
| POP Mail |
You also have full access to the
normal POP3 email used by most people. You will
be able to access it through all of the popular
email programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, and Netscape. |
| Alias and Forwarding Accounts |
You can create aliases and forwarding
accounts to help manage your email routing requirements.
You can even create an alias like allstaff@yourcompany.com
and add mailboxes to it; then when you sent email
to that address, a copy goes into each of the mailboxes
in the alias list. You can even forward email to
other addresses that are located somewhere else,
like AOL. |
| Auto Responders |
You can create messages that are
automatically sent whenever email is received in
a designated mailbox. This is a nice way of acknowledging
the sender and letting them know you will be with
them soon. You can even create vacation messages
that are automatically sent to tell people you are
on vacation and when you will be back. |
| Large Storage |
Mailboxes are set to hold up to 100
MB of storage, which allows you to receive email
with large file attachments. |
| Large Attachments |
You can send attachments up to 100
MB in size. This is a major increase over what is
typically allowed by ISPs and web hosting companies. |
| Customer Control Panel |
You have full access to a control
panel where you can add/delete/modify mailboxes,
aliases and forwarding accounts. |
| Easy Expansions |
As your needs grow, we can easily
add to the number of mailboxes and domains that
you have. And when your needs grow to the point
where you need your own mail server, we can easily
move you over to a dedicated Mail Server where you
can have thousands of mailboxes and domain names. |
Why You Need these Mail Services
As a school system, you know how important it is to
communicate with your teachers and administrative staff.
Email is a highly efficient way of doing this. In a
school system, there are some interesting rest of the
providers on the basis of services and reliability.
One great way to do that is by offering email services
that put you far above any of your competitors. A Mail
Services account with us will help you in the following
ways:
- Value Added Service: Webmail. Your mailbox
holders will be able to access their email from anywhere
they have an Internet connection with Webmail. This
is ideal for students and teachers who want to access
their email from office and home. They can even upload
their Outlook Address Book and Calendars into the
Webmail program so they can access this information
at more convenient times.
- Value Added Service: Anti-Virus Filtering.
The kind of damage caused by any one of the thousands
of viruses that are active on the Internet can cost
both you and your school real dollars. By protecting
your computers, you will cut down on your tech support
problems.
- Value Added Service: SPAM Filtering. Every
time someone gets SPAM, it reflects on you. We know
there is little you can do about it. However, by using
our service, you will have the best in SPAM filtering
options available.
- Save Dollars. The cost of setting up your
own mail server can be considerable. By outsourcing
this service, you get features and services and reliability
that you could not match on your own. And as a bonus,
you will save a lot of money that you might have spent
on hardware, software, IT time, as well as ongoing
administrative costs. (More

Growing to the Next Level
As you decide to add more mailboxes to your system
(for students and parents, perhaps), we can easily upgrade
you to larger and more robust solutions. Depending on
how many mailboxes you need and the features you require,
it will be cost-effective to move you to your own dedicated
mail server when you have 100 or more mailboxes. If
you are thinking about buying and building your own
mail server with these same features, you will find
that you will save money by outsourcing this to us with
as few as 50 mailboxes. (More
