setting up mailboxes in Hmail server
Hi experts,
I have a scenario that i would like you guys to help me with.
At our main office, the staff are connected with hmail server for email communications. It runs find, the staff are able to send and receive email messages (via outlook) from the hmail server.
We have another office (called Branch) located in a different location, about 5 kilometers away from the main office. There are about 15 staff there with no email access. My first task is to set up their internet at their office via ADSL Broadband. No problem, i can do this to establish an internet connection.
My question is, how do i bring these guys at the branch office onto the hmail server so they can have email connection (just like the main office) using the same domain?
Do i install the hmail server onto a machine at the branch office and set up the rest of the staff using the same domain or webmail establishment?
The trick is, the staff at the branch office does not want to go to the internet and check their email like that (such as webmail)...however, webmail will be useful when they are out of the country, then they'll check their email using webmail.
They prefer to have their email connection setups via Outlook onto their machines (just like the guys in the main office).
Any idea experts?
Appreciate your help
Thanks

i have utilize google apps now. way better than hmail. alot of functionality that you can utilize such as google drive, calendar, support from google, etc. loved it.
Its messy though this way. I'd consider using an email sub domain for the branch to ensure mail routing works properly.
