Get in Order with SharePoint

by Cameron Nouri on March 18, 2010 | No Comments

Sometimes teams simply get out of control. Maybe there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Maybe people have no idea who the chiefs are. Maybe every time your team meets to discuss, they are all looking at different version of the same document. Maybe you can’t find emails because your team has “reply-all” discussions that pollute your [...]

Group Scheduling with Rackspace Email

by Rex Card on February 3, 2010 | No Comments

Being a Project Manager, I schedule a lot of meetings with members all across our company. Before the new “Group Scheduling” feature, I would have to type in each member’s email address in order to add them to the invite list. This is fine for a handful of people, but when you are consistently inviting [...]

Never Forget an Attachment Again!

by Manny DeJesus on November 23, 2009 | 1 Comment

Every week, if not every day, I forget to attach a file to an email. So like everyone else, I quickly send a follow-up with the famous “Oops!” in the subject. Annoying for all involved; I’m sure. So I’m pretty excited about the new “Attachment Alert” feature in Rackspace Webmail (included with our Rackspace Email [...]

by Michael Ferranti on October 22, 2009 | No Comments

We’ve been arguing for a while now on our blog that for SMBs (small to medium sized businesses), moving your email to the cloud is a good idea. It saves money, helps make IT staff more productive, and increases reliability in general for the businesses that drive our economy. But we want to help you [...]

As companies continue to need to lay off workers, the workload for the remaining lucky few has increased markedly. The recession is forcing us all to work smarter and faster, and IT is the natural place for businesses to look for ways to make that happen. It’s no surprise then that average hours worked per [...]

Introducing Notes! Now in Rackspace Webmail

by Manny DeJesus on October 9, 2009 | 1 Comment

Our CTO, Bill Boebel, is pretty damn busy. He runs from meeting to meeting with a laptop, a notepad, pens and his BlackBerry. Yet, somehow, his thoughts are rarely all in one place (shocking). So for Bill, and the millions of other super-busy people, we’ve created Notes! Notes is a new app now included with [...]

Launch: Auto Delete Invitations

by Matt Pfeil on September 22, 2009 | No Comments

I receive several event invitations a week—sometimes even several a day. Every time I get an invitation, I either accept or decline, and then I delete the email. The way I see it, if I can’t attend the event, I don’t need to keep the invitation. And if I accept the invitation, the event information [...]
