Q. What do you mean when you say that GMSI provides anytime/anywhere email to users?
A. GMSI understands that business is no longer confined to offices and conference rooms. Today's businessperson is a mobile professional conducting business anywhere and everywhere. Recognizing that in a couple of years most Internet communications will be done via wireless devices and not PCs, GMSI has designed its messaging platforms to be accessible by virtually all text-enabled wireless devices. This means that users have many choices for accessing GMSI email including: from their desktop via the email client of their choice, through a web browser, or over a wireless device such as a pager, mobile phone or PDA.

Q. What is the benefit of GMSI's IMAP4-enabled email option?
A. Unlike POP3, the Internet Messaging Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4) allows a user to access and manipulate email messages on the GMSI server. Remote access means that users will have faster access to email because they download only the subject line of each message when they log-on, rather than the entire body of all messages. This is especially important for a mobile professional who may be viewing email over a slower dial-up connection or wireless device. In addition, with IMAP4 access, all email messages are stored in GMSI's central database, so users have access to previously downloaded messages from any location.

Q. Can GMSI customize my messaging solution?
