Published: Friday, September 23rd, 2011

We see this all of the time — business owners who have been using free email addresses at domains like comcast.net, aol.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com, etc., who want to start using their own domain name for email (e.g. switching from “dr_fred@aol.com” to “fred@the-doctor-is-in.com”).

While such a change is very desirable for many reasons, people are often uncertain as to how to make the change efficiently and at at the same time not lose any important business email.

This article covers common questions and solutions for making such a move.

The Case For Email Security

Published: Friday, March 13th, 2009

Section 1: Introduction to Email Security

You may already know that email is insecure; however, it may surprise you to learn just how insecure it really is. For example, did you know that messages which you thought were deleted years ago may be sitting on servers half-way around the world? Or that your messages can be read and modified in transit, even before they reach their destination? Or even that the username and password that you use to login to your email servers can be stolen and used by hackers?

This article is designed to teach you about how email really works, what the real security issues are, what solutions exist, and how you can avoid security risks.

Information Security and integrity are becoming more important as we use email for personal communication and business. While you are reading this article imagine how security problems can affect your business or personal life…. if they have not already.

iPhone: The Ultimate Mobile Email Client?

Published: Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

The iPhone from Apple is an amazing Smart Phone, if not a mini personal computer in itself.  We at LuxSci have been using iPhones since they were first available in 2007 and we have optimized our Xpress WebMail portal with a mobile-centric interface inspired by the iPhone and come out with MobileSync push email and contact/calendar sync services that work beautifully with iPhone and other mobile devices.  Many of our clients use an iPhone or other Internet-enabled mobile device with our email services. The time seems right to share some of our knowledge and experience with iPhones.

Tag, you’re it! Productivity through tagging and color coding.

Published: Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Tagging items has become one of the hallmarks of modern web applications.  Delicious and FireFox allow you to tag your bookmarks, Facebook lets you tag people in photos. Flickr supports tagged pictures. Blogs permit you to tag your posts. The list goes on and on.

Tags are incredibly useful because they enable categorization of items in a dynamic and natural way.  Items can have multiple tags and you can make them up yourself as you go, so that they are meaningful to you and in the context in which you are working.

The odd thing is that tags are not yet very prevalent in most mainstream email programs (except perhaps Gmail) and collaboration tools like contacts, calendars, etc. This is where LuxSci jumps in.  LuxSci has had full tag support since June, 2007; in recent months, tagging has become easier and more powerful due to updates to our GUI (graphical user interface).
