E-Mail Packages


ChicagoNetTech offers e-mail using SmarterMail from SmarterTools.  SmarterMail offers most of the features of Microsoft's Exchange server at a much smaller cost to the ISP and allows us to pass on those savings to our customers.  Because ChicagoNetTech's SmarterMail solution is fully SSL/TLS enabled, we can offer fully secured, encrypted, e-mail.  We can also provide full e-mail archival services for all incoming and outgoing e-mail, providing complete compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Health Industry Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other regulatory requirements for e-mail archiving.

ChicagoNetTech's SmarterMail e-mail solution offers access to your e-mail no matter where you are.  Whether you are in your office, working from home, on the road and accessing your e-mail via your cell phone, or at an internet café, ChicagoNetTech's SmarterMail solution will give you the access to your e-mail, contacts, calendar, appointments, and tasks.  We can also offer you an intra-office Chat solution powered by a JABBER based client which can be accessed via your desktop, laptop, smart phone, iPhone, HTC phone, or via our SmarterMail webmail interface.
