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!
