Commercial Gmail is a Web-based email service provided by Google (read more on Wikipedia).   Google revolutionized searching the web - consider the possibility that they have done the same with email.  If you're struggling with spam, viruses, email backup or your email solution generally why not try Commercial Gmail, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Professional Email

Commercial Gmail comes across as a professional all-in-one email solution. We setup-up your account to send from your normal company address. This means you can keep using your original address (myname@mycompany.com) but with the added power and functionality of Commercial Gmail.

      

Power Tips for Gmail

Considering that real Gmail users didn’t know about these options, I’m going to call them power tips.

      
Setup new email addresses

Setup new email addresses

Once Commercial Gmail is setup, creating new email accounts for new employees is quick and easy.

      

Your Email Anywhere

With a Commercial Gmail account you can access your email from any computer with an internet connection. You don't need to fiddle with mail settings, just type in your username and password.

      

Reduce Stress

Commercial Gmail has an one of the worlds best virus and spam filters.

Save your company techies the time and the stress of finding solutions for letting 'good' mail through and keeping 'bad' mail out.

With about 58 million Gmail users collectively reporting spam, this superior spam filter just works.  Period.

      

Email Storage

Commercial Gmail offers you a powerful way to keep your mail backed up.

Currently Commercial Gmail gives you over 6gig (GB) of free email storage and this number continually increases.  If you need more, you can increase it to 25gig (GB) per account - by paying US$50 per year per email address.   This is less than R50 per month per address.

Never lose another important email again, it will be safely stored in your Commercial Gmail account.  Create labels which are similar to folders or just search for lost emails at Google speed!

      

Email on your mobile phone

Commercial Gmail also offers a mobile interface so that you can send and receive emails on your mobile phone. All you need is an internet compatible mobile phone (nearly all phones have this function now).  Simply login and start reading, searching, labeling and of course sending emails from your phone.

      

Compare Costs

The free Standard Edition of Commercial Gmail which includes more than 5GB of storage (per address) will probably last you a few years.  However that 5GB free storage allowance is growing continually - you may never need the Premier Edition.

If you do need to upgrade to Premier Edition at US$50 per year per email address, consider that you don't ever need to buy or maintain any email servers, software or backup solutions.

      

Why is Standard Edition Free

When things are "free" is is useful to know why they are free.  When using Commercial Gmail you will see Google sponsored advertising links on the side of emails.  These are the same sort of links you see on the side of the screen when you do a Google search but they will be related to the content of your email.

Google makes its money from charging the advertiser a few rand if you happen to click on those links.  Google's motivation is to have many people using Gmail so that they can make more money from advertising.
