I am a freelance PA acting on behalf of a number of clients that are looking to move their current mailbox accounts, email calendar etc provider to a more sufficient system. All clients have multiple businesses therefore a number of domains that need managing. They also work closely with me so I will need my own domains to each of their accounts and delegated access to their emails and calendars. A brief criteria below, can you please let me know if this is something eM Client can provide and if so, what are the set up steps. How easy is it to integrate?

Will they be able to access multiple domains, desktop and phones? Will I, as their PA be able to easily access their accounts as a delegate and have my own? Does it collaborate with Apple Calendars? If we were to go ahead what is the process for transferring mailboxes over and setting it all up? What will the cost be for x3 domains, 3 for me and 3 for the client, delegate access for me?

Thank you very much in advance.

Thunderbird is an email client. It is not a host for domains. It does not have any server. It is a program which you can download, install and run on a desktop to faciliate viewing emails which are already held on various servers. Thunderbird can be downloaded and installed on any number of computers. There are specific verions for different OS and language. Thunderbird is useable in any computer 'User Account' where it keeps the 'profiles'. You can create any number of Profile name folders, although only one can be accessed at a time on that computer. Each Profile name folder can hold many mail accounts (email addresses). Imap mail accounts can access server and show a vitual copy of what is on server. This means various computers can have same mail account access to same email address on server. folders synchronise with server, so any deletions from any imap connection will delete off server and also delete from all other imap account connections. So every copy is synchronised with server. Emails are stored on server.

Thank you. Can you please let me know if it allows for delegated access for both calendar and mailbox and what are the costs involved? Thanks very much

All costs are with your ISP and/or the webhost you use and/or domains you own etc.

Thunderbird email client itself is a free program. Lightning comes as part of the package. There are a variety of Addon extensions which are written by anyone who wants to produce an addon extension. Those 'authors' of addons do appreciate donations in order to keep the addon updated.

You download the appropriate Thunderbird for your OS from the link previously provided.

Any email address can be setup as a mail account and accessed if you have the password and server settings. Although many commonly used server settings can be located by Thunderbird.

You could setup Thunderbird for own use and check out how it works. It's not going to cost you anything but a little time and some patience :)
