Business Email Address
The first step in getting a business email address is to obtain a domain name for your business, once that is done you can then set up your mail server.
There are several different types of mail servers including the following:
POP & IMAP Mail Servers
POP & IMAP are two of the most common mail server types. A POP server stores all email on a central server and users can access their email from any computer with a client that supports POP. A user’s email is not stored on the local computer, which is where an IMAP server differs. With an IMAP server, users can log into their mailbox from any computer and read and manage their mailboxes remotely.
Why do you need a Mail Server?
Mail servers help businesses keep track of emails sent to and from their domain name. This helps avoid sending duplicate messages or messages that are sent to the wrong person. This also helps businesses maintain the integrity of their messaging system since they have full visibility into who sends what to whom and when those messages were sent.
Mail servers also provide businesses with advanced capabilities through features like spam filtering, antivirus protection, encryption, message archiving and more.
In this article, we’ll cover how to set up your own mail server for your business — no matter what type of mail server you choose!

Office 365 Mail
The office 365 mail server is a cloud-based email server, which can be accessed on the web or through a native app.
It is recommended that you use this type of mail server as it is easy to use and you have access to all the features regardless of your device, provided you have an internet connection.
The Mailbox Server
Also known as Microsoft Exchange Server, this type of mail server requires installation on a standalone computer and will require more technical knowledge in order to manage.
If you choose to install Exchange Server then it will provide your business with the ability to send and receive emails from anywhere.
However, if you are using Office 365 for your email service then it’s likely that your customers may not need this functionality.
