I recently put a post up regarding the Mobility side of things with Mimecast and setting up outlook express/windows live mail to access your work email on the Mimecast Towers.
So after seeing this work on the PC I thought I'd give it a go on one of our smartphones. so I configured it to use my work email address and AD Password and set the smtp and pop3 servers to one of the service towers we use. Hit the send and receive and it worked like a charm. This actually could have proved very usefull the other week as we had a power cut, some unfortunate person cut through a mains cable on the building site across the road from our office and cut power to all buildings in the area and our UPS's only give us about 30 minutes of power to the servers so we had to shut them all down, which meant although the smartphones could connect to our front end Exchange Server which is located in Harrogate it then could not talk to the Back End Exchange Server which was in Edinburgh. So with this neat feature of Mimecast our mobility users could have still stayed up to date with their email.
The next thing that we are looking at with Mimecast is the Marketing Advantage and the possibility of branding our out going emails.
