How can I use AltaVista Mail in my business?
AltaVista Mail supports any post Office Protocol (POP3)-compliant mail client. This means that groups of
Windows 95, Macintosh, and Motif users supporting POP3 mail clients can connect to AltaVista Mail on a
Windows NT server. AltaVista Mail allows all users of these platforms to exchange electronic mail with
colleagues in the organization and with colleagues, partners, suppliers, and customers on the Internet.
For users of Web browsers, AltaVista Mail complements the Netscape navigator V2.0 mail client by enabling
groups of Netscape users to exchange electronic mail with coworkers on their LAN and over the Internet.
For businesses standardizing on Microsoft Exchange, AltaVista Mail works well with the Microsoft Exchange
Windows 95 client. You only require either Microsoft Plus! Companion for Windows 95 or the Microsoft
Internet Explorer (available over the Internet from Microsoft).
How much training will I need to set up and use this mail system?
Setup, configuration, and management of AltaVista Mail is simple and uncomplicated. You don't need to be
an electronic mail or system specialist. That's why AltaVista Mail is ideal for small businesses or remote
branch offices that don't have or can't afford system administrators with e-mail expertise. For example,
the Windows GUI leads you through setup and administrative tasks. Context-sensitive help is also available.
There's no need for you to study complex manuals to set up AltaVista Mail.
Is security integral to the system?
With AltaVista Mail, you're protected from infiltration. A security log reports suspicious events to the
administrator such as connections coming in over the network that indicate a possible computer break-in
or user impersonation. Multiple levels of system privileges permit allocation of administration privileges
based on level of authority and company policy. Users do not require a log-in account on the host system,
preventing system attacks via the user log-in account.
