Gmail charge nothing, yet providing one of the best Webmail interface by putting usability and intuitiveness into maximun, just like iPhone.
Meanwhile, business email hosting service providers offering hosted email solution for businesses at range of pricing that makes you really confuse. Outside, it is like an apple-to-apple comparison except the very huge price difference.
What is inside the Apple?
Busy mail server tends to delay email more slowly. Ideally (this happen to those fast mail server), your email once sent should reach the recipient given everything working in place. A healty mail server should not have long mail queue so that they can process your email almost immediately.
Also, if you have out-of-control of mailbox users in a single mail server, that can cause excessive loading to the mail server. The more users on Webmail, send & receiving at the same time, this can cause delay to the server.
Just one thing, the performance of the recipient mail server can be another factor of slow email. If you are sure the recipient side is running fast enough yet still receive delayed email, this is the sign that your own mail server is having some problem!

Bosses in Australia will soon be authorized with a new power on their workforce- the ability to scan every emails that is sent and received through their organisation’s email server.
The Sydney Morning Herald quotes the following…
COMPANIES will be able to intercept the emails and internet communications of their employees without their consent under new laws being considered by the Federal Government to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure from a cyber attack.
The proposed powers, which the Government wants in place by the middle of next year and which could affect millions of workers, have been slammed as an unprecedented and unjustifiable intrusion on civil liberties.
The Government is developing counter-measures, including amending the Telecommunications (Interceptions) Act to allow companies and others operating critical infrastructure to monitor emails and other internet communications without their workers’ consent.
The act allows only security agencies to monitor their employees’ communications without consent. That power expires at the end of June next year and Mr McClelland said he wanted the new legislation to include companies providing services critical to the economy.
In Malaysia, there’s no laws or acts protecting the employees’ privacy. Yes, every emails that you received and sent via your company’s email address is possibly being read by your boss right now.

I always believe that email hosting package with unlimited mailbox is over promising, too real to be true marketing teasers. At first, it seems to be all working fine. You pay RM199 and create as many as email user you want. I came across Listed Company hosting all their 200 users with unlimited package - paying as little as 8 cent per user per month! Yes, unbelievable!
Without limiting number of users in any mail server, it goes beyong control. Too many users means an increasing email load to both incoming and outgoing mail server. You start to experience email sending delay and having intermittent downtime problems.
