2014. Outlook.com ads smart filters like in GMail. Zoho Mail increases free limit to 10 users



Leading small business email services continue to impress us with their continuous introduction of new features and free options. Today, Microsoft has unveiled a significant update to Outlook.com. The primary highlight of this update is the inclusion of smart filters that can automatically categorize incoming emails or execute specific actions based on various criteria. These filters offer functionality that surpasses what is available in GMail. For instance, you can establish a rule that automatically moves an unread message to a designated folder if it remains unread for three days. Additionally, it is now possible to respond to emails within the same interface, eliminating the need to switch to a separate view. Meanwhile, Zoho Mail, a strong competitor to Outlook.com and GMail, has raised its free user limit to 10. Although GMail and Outlook.com are often regarded as completely free, this is not entirely accurate. While the personal versions are indeed free, the business versions, which offer comparable features to Zoho Mail (such as a custom domain and administrative panel), are part of Google Apps and Office 365 and come at a cost starting from $5 per user per month.


2013. GMail, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail and Zoho Mail: small business email news



Over the past few days the number of interesting news came from the most popular email services for small business - GMail, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail and Zoho Mail. First of all, last week Yahoo Mail together with website-hosting Yahoo Small Business was down for several days, and of course left a lot of small business customers mad as hornets. Now many of them are going to move to another service. And Microsoft (shortly before this event) decided to entice users from GMail and Yahoo. But, unfortunately , they began with GMail and now can't fully seize the moment. However, their new tool for importing emails and contacts from GMail to Outlook.com is already working. ***


2011. Zoho Mail takes on GMail



As known, Zoho uses to make friends with Google. Despite the fact that both companies are developing online offices for SMB, Zoho always combines its applications with Google Apps, rather than compete with them. Zoho is the champion by the number of applications in the Google Apps Marketplace (i.e. integrated into Google Apps). And maybe that's why Zoho for a long time didn't touch the holy grail of Google Apps - email app GMail. In fact Zoho launched it's email service (Zoho Mail) almost two years ago, but it was just a personal email service. It was as functional as GMail and even allowed to use your own domain, but it had no administrative panel that allows to create accounts and manage security policies. So it couldn't be used as a corporate mail server. Now it can. ***


2008. Zoho Mail Gets Offline Support via Google Gears - Ahead of Gmail

Zoho, an innovative Web Office startup, has once again beaten Google to the punch by announcing offline support for Zoho Mail. Interestingly, Zoho is utilizing Google Gears to enable this functionality, as demonstrated in a video by the Google Developer team. This isn't the first time Zoho has outpaced Google in offline support; they previously introduced it for their online word processing in November 2007, while Google followed suit in March 2008 for Google Docs. Despite speculation about Google rolling out offline support for Gmail and Google Calendar, it has yet to materialize. In the meantime, Yahoo Mail has already implemented offline functionality through Yahoo Zimbra Desktop, offering offline access to both free and paid users. Although Google Labs recently introduced Advanced IMAP Controls, Zoho's offline functionality release doesn't appear to worry Google much, as they view Zoho more as an advocate for their technology, like Google Gears. To access offline mail in Zoho Mail, users need to have Google Gears installed on their browsers, with support for Chrome and Safari forthcoming. Zoho Mail also boasts features like downloading images and attachments in offline mode, as well as automatic detection and switching between online and offline modes based on connectivity.
