Hosted Microsoft Exchange Access Protocols Hosted Exchange supports many protocols that will allow you to connect to the Exchange server to access your information. Certain connections provide access to more information than others, but all of the connections provide access to your email information. MAPI Messaging Application Programming Interface is the traditional connection used to interface with the Microsoft Exchange server and was designed by Microsoft. It allows the Exchange server to directly communicate with the email client, so that all of your information is updated in real time. This is the recommended connection to use when setting up your email client. RPC over HTTPS This is a special function that allows for secured access when connected to the Microsoft Exchange server. POP3 Post Office Protocol (Version 3) is what most users need and use today. POP3 is a client/server protocol in which email is received and held on a mail server. Periodically, you check for mail on that server and then download it to your email client. POP3 is the standard protocol built into practically every email client. This method is well-suited for users that don t want to store email messages online. IMAP4 Internet Message Access Protocol (Version 4) is another popular way to access email messages. With IMAP, messages and folders are always stored on the mail server. When users access their email, they are working directly with these messages. This means that any updates made to the email, such as moving, flagging, or marking a message as unread, is stored on the server. Outlook Entourage BlackBerry ActiveSync IMAP is a convenient option for users who need to access their email online from multiple clients at multiple computers or locations. Our IMAP server supports IMAP IDLE, which provides real-time push support for IMAP applications, alerting you the second you have new mail... which makes it very powerful for users on the go.

SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is the standard protocol for sending email messages across the Internet. It is also commonly referred to as the outgoing mail server. Our SMTP servers are configured to require SMTP Authentication. The servers themselves perform two important functions. First, they verify that anyone attempting to send outgoing email through the SMTP server has the right to do so. Then secondly, they send the outgoing email. If undeliverable, the message gets sent back to the sender. SSL and TLS Encryption We provide SSL and TLS encryption for POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Outlook Web Access. Basically, this encrypts your data so that others cannot view it. Our servers also support opportunistic TLS, which allows your incoming and outgoing email data to be encrypted as it travels through the internet. This is very important for passwords and confidential emails. Supported RFCs RFCs are standards for email communication between servers and email clients. These standards are approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and are known as RFCs. These standards cover SMTP, POP, and IMAP, among other Internet technologies.

We Plan for Scalability Your email should be infinitely scalable. The ability to add or remove mailboxes, handle jumps in email traffic, and send and receive on demand are integral elements of what you get with Computer House. From end to end, we plan our systems to accommodate your usage no matter how big or small. We Plan for Your Expansion Whether you re adding 5 or 5,000 mailboxes, Computer House has the system architecture in place to scale to your needs. How? Advanced software design and servers in multiple data centers feature massive amounts of excess capacity. And, you can add or delete right from the control panel. We Plan for Traffic Spikes When email traffic spikes, you won t miss a message because your server chokes on the increased volume. Load-balanced, clustered, single-purpose servers support inbound and outbound traffic. On demand, we tap into reserve server capacity to manage message volume. We Plan for Accessible Email Your mail data lives on servers with an identical twin. In case of an outage or disaster, you have two live copies of mail data immediately available and an offline backup. Our servers sense failures and quickly divert traffic to the operational twin server. With Computer House Support and fixed, affordable pricing, Computer House meets your immediate email needs and is poised to serve your future email needs.

Navigating a Dynamic Threat Landscape Spam used to be annoying. Now, it s dangerous. Last year, 75% of businesses reported virus infections from incoming email. Email is now the leading entry point for network threats like viruses, Trojans, and worms. Lost productivity from checking and deleting spam and the expense of rallying the IT department to fix and recover lost data costs over $20 billion a year. Keeping the spam menace out of your organization is not an easy or cheap proposition. The software licenses alone are costly. Add to that constant maintenance to ensure protection against emerging threats. Looking for relief? Look to Computer House. With Computer House, you get exceptional support and affordable, feature-rich business email and the strongest threat detection structure in the industry. We combined the best of our threat scanning capabilities with industry leaders in spam and virus protection. Before a message enters your mailbox, it undergoes four independent, threat blocking scans: Threat Blocker #1: Our Gatekeeper Scan. Our team of email experts developed the Gatekeeper scan to evaluate a message s compliance with rigorous, internationally recognized technical standards. Messages are also checked against aggregated blacklists of known spam offenders. Threat Blocker #2: Message Sniffer. Utilizing user feedback and enhanced pattern matching, Message Sniffer seamlessly annihilates over 98% of spam in real time. Threat Blocker #3: Cloudmark and CommTouch. Advanced Message Fingerprinting from Cloudmark is strong enough to annihilate spam and accurately identify virus attacks. Plus, we added CommTouch s thorough spam filters, featuring Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technology. Threat Blocker #4: Clam AV. Incorporating a three-layer virus scan on all incoming messages, Clam AV targets deceptive measures senders use to mask viruses, compares the message against known virus definitions, and evaluates attachments for possible viruses. Maintaining this comprehensive level of threat protection could cost you thousands of dollars a month to maintain. As a Computer House customer, these protections are free with every mailbox you add.
