I have recently finished doing some search engine optimisation work for AlpineCab.com. They wanted to promote their business to people wanting private transfers and taxi services to and from Evian les Bains.

If you are using Microsoft Small Business Server then Google Apps for your domain is a great additional solution for offsite archiving of all mail as well as spam control and mail queuing while your server is offline.

However the built in POP3 connector in SBS is very basic and doesnt support alternative ports or SSL which Google force you to use.

To get around this you need to grab hold of Stunnel and OpenSSL

This is some of the best news that has happened in ages. Google Apps is a great system for managing your email, but up until now it has not been possible to use IMAP.

The introduction of IMAP means that the same mailbox can be accessed by different users on different computers and changes are kept in sync. For small office setups and small businesses run from home this is ideal.
