Standard vs. Groupware: Choosing Your Edition

Both editions include professional @yourdomain.com email with enterprise-grade spam filtering, webmail access, and IMAP/SMTP support. The difference comes down to collaboration needs:

  • Standard Edition ($1.95/month) — Reliable business email with core protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) for teams that primarily need professional communication without integrated calendar coordination.
  • Groupware Edition ($3.95/month) — Everything in Standard plus shared calendars (CalDAV), contact management (CardDAV), and mobile ActiveSync for teams that coordinate schedules and need unified address books across devices.
