Today, companies are looking to break away from proprietary LAN-based E-mail systems to open, Internet-based systems that can integrate both internal and external communications. The Internet messaging market is expected to grow from $1.2 billion in 1996 to $2.2 billion in the Year 2000. Internet Messaging is the complete guide to deploying Internet-based E-mail and solving the most annoying headaches associated with today's corporate E-mail systems. It covers nearly every E-mail issue an IT professional may encounter, from directory services and LDAP to security and virtual private networking. It also brings professionals up-to-date on the latest Internet E-mail standards, what it really means for a system to be "100% Pure Internet," and how that benefits the enterprise. The book also provides a "How Can I" matrix presenting solutions to the 12 most common E-mail problems, including integrating with E-mail with other desktop and palmtop applications; providing secure remote access to E-mail; integrating E-mail with fax, voicemail and paging; and much more.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Are you getting the most out of the most popular network technology? Internet Messaging: From the Desktop to the Enterprise teaches everything the power user needs to know about e-mail, and much that will benefit the network administrator. This book teaches the reader how to use e-mail effectively, explaining how various aspects of the technology work and how they came to be, including mysteries such as what a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)-encoded attachment is and how a message gets from your computer to the screen of its addressee.
Other parts of this book detail strategies for using e-mail. The guide helps you assess whether you are using the right mail client for your needs, whether your folders are organized to match your style of work, and if your e-mail client works well with your other productivity applications.
The authors discuss other important but seldom-covered topics, such as how to register an Internet domain name and how to change from one host to another--a process that many domain owners shy away from because they don't understand it. They also get into unsolicited mail (spam) and the various means of dealing with it. --David Wall

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent introduction to email,
By ehall (Traveller) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Internet Messaging: From the Desktop to the Enterprise (Paperback)
This book does not focus exclusively on a single topic, but instead provides a well-rounded discussion on all things email-related. For example, it does not focus exclusively on any one messaging implementation, nor does it get bogged down on technical discussions of protocols and message boundaries, but instead it covers these topics (and more) as part of a comprehensive discussion on electronic mail in general.Each chapter tackles a broad subject and then provides a studied discussion of several touchstone issues related to that discussion. For example, there is a chapter on sending email in an enterprise network which provides ample discussions on several subordinate topics, including an introduction to LDAP directories, a summary discussion on various gateways and integration services that are likely to be used in that kind of environment, and details for configuring popular messaging clients to take advantage of these services. In this regard, Internet Messaging provides a well-rounded introductory discussion on the subject of Internet email at large, making it perhaps the best novice guide on the market. It is especially well-suited for people who are just stepping into messaging concepts, but advanced users and implementors will also find plenty of useful nuggets.

Rose & Strom "get e-mail",
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Messaging: From the Desktop to the Enterprise (Paperback)
Having only read an excerpt, it's obvious the authors understand e-mail and the valuable role it plays in business-to-consumer communication. If you have customers online, e-mail is a critical part of your communication/marketing strategy. I'm sure this book will help you develop your winning strategy for e-mail. Like Lenny, I'm buying copies for my senior staff.
