I got a question this past weekend that kind of stumped me. The question is – are there any really good mail hosts other than Gmail and Outlook? I realize that Yahoo still operates a mail host as does AOL. And that many of the ISPs offer mail hosting. But all of those feel like 20 year old technology. Of course I could be wrong about that. I am not talking about mail clients like Superhuman and Hey and others (including Apple and Microsoft’s mail clients).

The study shows more than 80% of respondents either rarely worked from home or not at all prior to the pandemic, and, in turn, more than half are now doing so with no new security policies to help guide them. Business activities that were once conducted in protected office environments, and monitored under specific policies, have quickly transitioned to new, and potentially less secu

A few years ago I was at a gathering of the National Speakers Association and keynote speaker Jay Bear said don't build your business on rented land. By that he meant, be sure to build your own email list and not just rely on social media. The news of India banning Chinese owned TikTok is the reason why. Sure, use social media. However, if your entire business strategy is built on social media, when an algorithm changes or your country bans access to it, then you're really gonna be hurting.
