Ever have a rough time setting up your email? What we love most about the new Kerio Connect 7.3 (used for MacLab hosting) is how easy it is to set up accounts in Apple Mail and iCal as well as the iPhone and iPad.

Here’s how it works. To set up Mail, iCal, and Address Book simultaneously, you download one simple installer, run it and you’re good to go in under 5 minutes. On your iOS device, you login, download a profile and you’re done. You get synchronized email, schedules and contacts along with full group scheduling in moments.

Purge Your Email

August 6, 2011 in MacLab News, Tips with 0 Comments

Kerio Connect

You might be familiar with the concept of working with an email space quota—all email providers have them. If not, you might soon be faced with a full mailbox. The most missed mailbox to purge is the “sent” mail. Years of correspondence and attachments can pile up in there.

As a Kerio Connect email hosting provider, MacLab gives you the ability to automatically delete sent messages after a time period you designate. Just let us know what works for you (1 yr, 2 yrs, etc). There’s no additional charge for this service. You can copy messages to your computer before the time period is up, or just let them go!

MobileMe Gone, iCloud Not Ready

July 1, 2011 in Mac News, MacLab News with 0 Comments

Apple ended MobileMe enrollment. Existing members can stay on until June 30, 2012. For information on what will happen to your account if you’re a MobileMe user, refer to this Apple FAQ. The replacement, iCloud won’t be available for months. This leaves new Mac buyers that need email, file sharing, calendar and contact syncing over the Internet without a solution from Apple.

Did you know MacLab offers all the above? In addition, schedules and contacts can be shared and/or edited by the entire office team or members of the family, providing a professional solution. We can also give you server space with features that go beyond iDisk. We don’t have any special name for this service, we’ve been too busy. Macloud? AirLab?
