Director Julie Finch says: “This year is a milestone for Axon Birch and it is testament to the hard work of all the team that the company has grown by 30% over the past year.

“There have been plenty of challenges over the past decade but the last 12 months have been the busiest we’ve ever had. We offer a great deal of flexible packages and thats one of the reason we’ve continued winning clients.

“We regularly receive feedback from clients saying that our website and software has made a huge difference to their business.”

A client recently contacted us complaining about the amount of spam he was getting, upon investigation, he was actually getting lots of marketing emails from legitimate web sites (play.com, gumtree.com etc.) but was finding them a nuisance.  To reassure him, I sent a description of how we process email to combat spam and thought I’d share that with all our customers here.

This picture tutorial will show you how to setup Outlook 2003 to connect to your email hosted at Axon Birch. If you are setting up a different email client, it will be very similar.
