Case Study of Web Based Email Application
Case Study: Web Based Email Applications
With almost ten years of experience in developing state-of-the-art messaging solutions, our research and development team leverages its email market expertise to develop a world-class technology that is highly cost effective and rapidly deployable over millions of emailboxes and domains.

Scalable and modular system architecture
Our Web-based email system was designed to provide for maximum flexibility. We have achieved this by developing a unique system architecture which is composed of three main components: web, mail and database servers. Web servers are responsible for the front-end email application, mail servers are responsible for the storage and transmittal of email messages, and database servers are responsible for storing all other important user business partner information. These servers interact through standard protocols such as HTTP, IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP and ODBC.
The modularity of our network architecture provides several key technological advantages:
Cost-effective and Rapidly Deployable
Our overall system design significantly reduces our time-to-deploy and costs for each mailbox supported. We host most of our servers through third-party hosting vendors. Economies of scale allow such vendors to offer server hosting facilities and Internet backbone access at bulk rates, which significantly reduces our Internet connectivity and server maintenance costs. The modularity of our system architecture allows us to choose from among a broad range of industry-standard mail servers. As a result, we can focus on developing value-added email services instead of becoming entrenched with constant modification, upgrades to our server software and internal development efforts. Because third-party mail servers are constantly upgraded with the most advanced features (LDAP support, HTML messaging, etc.), we
