Full collaboration functionality and shared calendars, tasks, notes, and folders are available as well as reminders and alerts bringing the features and performance of a desktop application to the Web.


Collaboration for the Office and the Enterprise

SmarterMail provides robust collaboration features that most people associate with more expensive mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange. Collaboration features such as folders, calendars, contacts, tasks, and notescan be fully synchronized with Microsoft Outlook and mobile devices (BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and more). SmarterMail is built from the ground up to be a foundation for a complete communications platform.


Complete Synchronization with Microsoft Outlook

Users have the ability to fully utilize Microsoft Outlook beyond the capabilities of most mail servers. Users can two-way sync between the SmarterMail Web interface and Microsoft Outlook allowing changes and additions to folders, calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes to be concurrently available in both applications.


Over-the-Air Synchronization with BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile Devices

SmarterMail email hosting services include the SyncML protocol to achieve Over-the-Air synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes. Users can send and receive email messages directly from their mobile devices. Most devices are supported, including BlackBerry (Curve, 8830, etc.), iPhone, and Windows Mobile devices (Motorola Q, Palm Treo, Samsung BlackJack, etc.). Not all functionality is available on all devices. Additional information is available on the SmarterTools Website.


Powerful Web Interface

SmarterMail delivers all of the coordination and communication functionality that you expect from your office desktop to any pc with an internet connection anywhere in the world through a familiar and intuitive Web interface. Users have access to shared calendars and the availability of their co-workers to schedule appointments. Tasks can be assigned and emails managed 24/7 with accuracy, speed, and security.


98% Antispam Out-of-the-Box

Effective out-of-the-box antispam protection is not just a possibility it has been achieved, without requiring the purchase of additional modules or hardware. SmarterMail utilizes a structured, multi-layered strategy to achieve 98% protection with exceptionally low false-positives. Technologies such as SpamAssassin, Greylisting, and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) are only a few of the techniques employed. SmarterMail email hosting services can also be integrated with third-party solutions (e.g., Barracuda, Message Sniffer) to enhance protection, if desired.
