POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP Plethware hosted email supports all standard email protocols, like POP3, IMAP, and SMTP, allowing users to check and send email via desktop email clients like Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, plus BlackBerry, iphone, Windows Phone and Android devices. POP3 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 IMAP4, 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. IMAP4 is a convenient option for users who need to access their email online from multiple clients. Our IMAP server supports IMAP IDLE, which provides real-time push support for IMAP applications, alerting you the second you have new mail. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is the standard protocol for sending email messages across the Internet. It is also commonly referred to as an outgoing mail server. Our SMTP servers are configured to require SMTP Authentication. SSL and TLS Encryption for enhanced security We provide SSL and TLS encryption for POP3, IMAP, SMTP and the Webmail client. 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.

Navigating a Dynamic Threat Landscape Spam used to be annoying. Now, it s dangerous. Last year, 75 percent 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 Plethware. With Plethware, 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 threatscanning 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 percent 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 Pleth customer, these protections are free with every mailbox.
