With our support of SMTP/POP3 based email service, you can now use any
email client software to access DriveHQ email. For Microsoft
Outlook Express users, please see the instructions at the bottom on how to

SMTP/POP3 based email is much easier to use than any web-based email. Many
email client applications offer powerful features such as message rules,
advanced editing, filtering and searching, etc. You also can configure multiple

emails to your local computers, so that emails will be available offline; and
by deleting emails on server, you get virtually unlimited mailbox size!
