In fact, in this year alone, the average business email account will receive 81 new emails per day and send approximately 39 per day (Radicati.com). That’s a lot of material coming in and out of each electronic mailbox!

The wait is over! Our new HostedMail product is ready and waiting to replace our previous email hosting service Managed Mail.
